Remote File upload script [PHP]

[Evilpig]

I was wondering if there is a script I could use with a form or something that allows me to input a remote file name like "http://example.com/example.rar" or something like that, then it downloads it to a folder on my web server...

If you can help me I would really appreciate it.

Coppermine can do that. At least, it does it with images.

<?php

// Initialise variables
$remoteUrl = "https://www.neowin.net/neologo.gif";
$localPath = "images/myneologo.gif";

// Read remote file into a string
$remoteFile = implode(file($remoteUrl),"");

// Write that string to a file
$filePointer = @fopen($localPath,"w");
fwrite($filePointer,$remoteFile);
fclose($filePointer);

?>

It might not work because I haven't actually tested that code together but it should... and it could with a little work if it doesn't already :)

Thanks, I tried that, but I got this

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/evilpig/public_html/host/include.php on line 12

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/evilpig/public_html/host/include.php on line 13

I also changed it to be run by a form,

$remoteUrl = $_POST['file'];
$localPath = $_POST['this'];

EDIT: I was also referred to this

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2221.html

Maybe if you also looked there that could also help you help me. :p

(I am a php noob by the way, sort of)

I just made a typo:

$remoteUrl = "https://www.neowin.net/neologo.gif";

and then later...

fwrite($filePointer,$remoteFile);

Just change both to the same thing, either will do.

[Evilpig]

alright, I changed

fwrite($filePointer,$remoteFile);

to

fwrite($filePointer,$remoteUrl);

then for remoteurl i put an image link, for localfile i put "files/imgname.gif"

then it just showed (spelling) a broken image :\

That's because https://www.neowin.net/neologo.gif doesn't exist. Try it with https://www.neowin.net/themes/blue/neologo.gif

Well accually I used my own file to try it with :(
