using PHP to download files from a remote server script

[Black_Rider]

Hi

I am writing a PHP script that sends POST method data to another PHP script on a remote server. This remote server looks at the POST data (which is an id), and then verifies the id in a database and then sends a zip file or whatever type of file back to the client. I want a PHP script to be able to receive that file and save it somewhere on my server.

Can this be done?

Just to clarify:

1. Send request to a remote PHP script using POST method data.
2. Remote PHP script verifies that data is post and runs the id through a database.
3. Remote PHP script sends the file that corresponds to the ID (this comes up as a question whether the client wants to save or open the file).
4. My PHP script downloads the file that the remote PHP script has put up for download, and stores the file somewhere on my server.
