i wrote a script to upload files via url but its not working fine.
wen i import the file, it creates the file on the server but refuses to write to it and the file size remains 0.00 byte.
below is my code.
php
<?php
//blog.theonlytutorials.com
//author: agurchand
if($_POST){
//get the url
$url = $_POST['url'];
//add time to the current filename
$name = basename($url);
list($txt, $ext) = explode(".", $name);
$name = $txt.time();
$name = $name.".".$ext;
//check if the files are only image / document
if($ext == "jpg" or $ext == "png" or $ext == "gif" or $ext == "doc" or $ext == "docx" or $ext == "pdf" or $ext=="jpeg" or $ext=='apk' or $ext=='jar' or $ext=='mp4' or $ext=='mp3' or $ext=='avi' or $ext=='3gp' or $ext=='exe' or $ext=='zip' or $ext=='tar' or $ext=='jad'){
//here is the actual code to get the file from the url and save it to the uploads folder
//get the file from the url using file_get_contents and put it into the folder using file_put_contents
$upload = file_put_contents("uploads/$name",file_get_contents($url));
//check success
if($upload) echo "Success: <a href='uploads/".$name."' target='_blank'>Check Uploaded</a>"; else "please check your folder permission";
}else{
echo "Please upload only image/document files";
}
}
?>
