Download large files using Guzzle

gistfile1.php

<?php

use Guzzle\Http\Client;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$tmpFile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'guzzle-download');
$handle = fopen($tmpFile, 'w');
$client = new Client('', array(
    Client::CURL_OPTIONS => array(
        'CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER' => true,
        'CURLOPT_FILE' => $handle
    )
));

$client->get('http://domain.tld/large-file.mp4')->send();
fclose($handle);

👍 thanks for this! I had to figure out how to test downloading a zip file and then I needed to find it and unzip it. Your code helped a ton.

Doesn't work anymore with the latest version (6.1.11):

PHP Fatal error:  Undefined class constant 'CURL_OPTIONS' in ....

Check out the sink documentation here:

http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/request-options.html#sink

How should this work if we use the HttpClient interface type hint? I should be more specific, if we're using php-http/httplug for a generic interface, how do you use the sink option?

I forked this gist to use Guzzle 6.3. https://gist.github.com/devNoiseConsulting/fb6195fbd09bfb2c1f81367dd9e727ed
I still need to test with large files, but the code will write the file to disk.

I forked @devNoiseConsulting.
