I want to use PHP to import files

Does anyone know how to use php to import a complete file and save it to the server that it is running on?

 

you mean upload file to server? if yes go to this page http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php

 

What I am actually wanting to do is import zip files with php from a different server. More like a transload.

 

you can download files from ftp using php, or you can donwload files if second server have php too..

 

I do not need to download. I need to copy from one server to another. I have tried a small script that uses the copy command but it will not get the file that I want. I am trying to import the clickbank xml zip file and just cannot figure out how to do it.

 

PM me the URL of the file and I'll show you how to do it.

 

Here's the working script, enjoy!

 

I was beginning to think this was not possible. Thanks.

Can you explain how it works?

I am supposing that 8192 is the port?

 

<?php
$remoteFile = "http://www.domain.com/something.zip";
$localFile = basename($remoteFile);

if ( false === file_put_contents($localFile, file_get_contents($remoteFile)) ){
    throw new RuntimeException("Could not save file");
}
?>

PHP:

 

You can use Chemo's code file_get_contents($remoteFile) , 8192 is the file size, not the port.

 

I will try Chemo's version tomorrow. I think I can still use the other one as well.

Is there anyway you can set the file size as a variable and let php fill it in?
