GETTING A FILE FROM AN URL USING A FORM

[Anon]

Any one knows how to get a file from a url putting the url in a form and pressing the submit key ?

sure,

    $ex = sprintf("/home/fiveohtwo/public_html/fupa_files/%s",$userfile_name);

    $fp = fopen($userfile_name, "w"); // create USER SPECIFIED file
    copy("$userfile", "$ex");
    fclose ($fp);
    unlink("$userfile");
    chmod($ex, 647);

and in the form use

    <FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="action_fupa_link.php" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">

and then
<INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="FILE" SIZE="50"><BR><BR>

I believe Juan meant how to download file from http:// type url.

The following code should get you started;

// NOT TESTED 🙂
$fp = fopen("http://www.website.com/file.zip","rb");
$file = fread($fp,10000);
fclose($fp);

$fp = fopen("file.zip","wb");
fwrite($fp,$file);
fclose($fp);
// END NOT TESTED 🙂

That is just some code that would open the file, then write it locally. Hope that can get you started.
