How To Download File From URL In PHP

Hello developer, in this tutorial i am going to show you that php curl download file from remote server. If you don't know how to do it, then you are a right plcae. This tutorial is for you.

Though you can do it  using get_file_contents() in php but i think it is better to use php cURL. So let' see how we can dot php curl save file from url.

$url = 'http://www.example.com/1458398816_33370444.jpg';


$curlCh = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curlCh, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curlCh, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curlCh, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
$curlData = curl_exec ($curlCh);
curl_close ($curlCh);


$downloadPath = "upload/flower10.jpg";
$file = fopen($downloadPath, "w+");
fputs($file, $curlData);
fclose($file);

 

Hope it can help you.
