PHP Download Image Or File From URL | |
I’ll show you 3 php functions that download a particular file (ex: image,video,zip,pdf,doc,xls,etc) from a remote resource (via a valid URL) then save to your server. | |
Depending on your current php.ini settings, some functions may not work; therefore, let try which function is best for you. | |
Note: please ensure the folder you want to store the downloaded file is existed and has write permission for everyone or the web process. | |
Download file from URL with PHP | |
For all examples below, I assume that we’re going to download a remote image from URL: http://4rapiddev.com/wp-includes/images/logo.jpg and save it to a download sub folder with name: file.jpg. | |
*/ | |
//1. PHP Download Remote File From URL With file_get_contents and file_put_contents | |
function download_remote_file($file_url, $save_to) | |
{ | |
$content = file_get_contents($file_url); | |
file_put_contents($save_to, $content); | |
} | |
download_remote_file('http://4rapiddev.com/wp-includes/images/logo.jpg', realpath("./downloads") . '/file.jpg'); | |
//2. PHP Download Remote File From URL With CURL | |
function download_remote_file_with_curl($file_url, $save_to) | |
{ | |
$ch = curl_init(); | |
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0); | |
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$file_url); | |
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); | |
$file_content = curl_exec($ch); | |
curl_close($ch); | |
$downloaded_file = fopen($save_to, 'w'); | |
fwrite($downloaded_file, $file_content); | |
fclose($downloaded_file); | |
} | |
download_remote_file_with_curl('http://4rapiddev.com/wp-includes/images/logo.jpg', realpath("./downloads") . '/file.jpg'); | |
//3. PHP Download Remote File From URL With fopen | |
function download_remote_file_with_fopen($file_url, $save_to) | |
{ | |
$in= fopen($file_url, "rb"); | |
$out= fopen($save_to, "wb"); | |
while ($chunk = fread($in,8192)) | |
{ | |
fwrite($out, $chunk, 8192); | |
} | |
fclose($in); | |
fclose($out); | |
} | |
download_remote_file_with_fopen('http://4rapiddev.com/wp-includes/images/logo.jpg', realpath("./downloads") . '/file.jpg'); | |
//Again, “download” folder must be exists and writable. |
