Most effient method to transload

[section31]

For some script i'm making, I need to copy some files "pics mainly" from a remote server to my local server.

I coded this myself with the basic knowledge I have and I'm not sure if there is a more efficient way of doing it.

$file = 'http://foo.com/bar.jpg';
$fileOut = basename($file);
$handle = fopen($file, "rb");

while (!feof($handle))
   $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);

$fp = fopen($fileOut,"w" );
fwrite($fp,$contents);
fclose($fp);

What do you think? Will this suffice? Do I need to free resources or something?

It wouldn't hurt to close $handle as well.
Look also at the [man]file[/man] function. Or, assuming your version of PHP is recent enough, you could just use [man]copy[/man] and make the whole thing a one-liner.
