I have the following code:
$file = 'http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AGI4aY2SFaE/Tg8yoG3ijTI/AAAAAAAAA5k/nJB-mDhc8Ds/s400/rizal001.jpg';
$newfile = '/img/submitted/yoyo.jpg';
if ( copy($file, $newfile) ) {
echo "Copy success!";
}else{
echo "Copy failed.";
}
and it always output "Copy failed"
copy(/img/submitted/yoyo.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
my directory is set to 777.
any ideas? thanks!
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.
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] with __DIR__ and got it working. Check your PHP version to make sure that is available.
I found this function in one of my old project.
private function download_file ($url, $path) {
$newfilename = $path;
$file = fopen ($url, "rb");
if ($file) {
$newfile = fopen ($newfilename, "wb");
if ($newfile)
while(!feof($file)) {
fwrite($newfile, fread($file, 1024 * 8 ), 1024 * 8 );
}
}
if ($file) {
fclose($file);
}
if ($newfile) {
fclose($newfile);
}
}
If the file is not publically accessible then you cannot copy a file from a server without having access to it.
You can use ftp_get() to open up a FTP connection and copy file.
$local_file = 'localname.zip'; // the nam
$server_file = 'servername.zip';
$conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
if (ftp_get($conn, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) {
echo "Successfully copied";
}
ftp_close($conn);
But, If you want to download a file from URL
$fullPath = "filepath.pdf";
if ($fd = fopen ($fullPath, "r")) {
$fsize = filesize($fullPath);
$path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
$ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\"");
header("Content-length: $fsize");
header("Cache-control: private"); //use this to open files directly
while(!feof($fd)) {
$buffer = fread($fd, 2048);
echo $buffer;
}
}
fclose ($fd);
ftp connection have to do with copying a file from an http server? In addition and fortunately less and less providers still use the completely outdated ftp protocol. So this is not an answer, sorry.
Copy file from remote server or URL and my answer does answer that both.
