Copy file from remote server or URL [duplicate]

by

While copy() will accept a URL as the source argument, it may be having issues a url for the destination.

Have you tried specifying the full filesystem path to the output file? I’m assuming you’re not trying to put the new file onto a remote server.

For example:

$file="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AGI4aY2SFaE/Tg8yoG3ijTI/AAAAAAAAA5k/nJB-mDhc8Ds/s400/rizal001.jpg";
$newfile = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/img/submitted/yoyo.jpg';

if ( copy($file, $newfile) ) {
    echo "Copy success!";
}else{
    echo "Copy failed.";
}

The above worked nicely for me.
