EDIT:

 

Post the actual url not some http:// this is a weird site url that i cannot just write http://www.site.com/file.mp3

 

That will get you more help than anything.

 

My bet is your are urlencoding the whole url, you should only do this for the name of that file without the extension. http://www.google.com/(your file name needs to be encoded).mp3

where ever there's a space use %20, that should do the trick, hopefully.

actually...you probably need this OPT:

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true);

 

another note...rawurlencode() is for the parts, not the whole string:

$url = 'http://google.com/'.rawurlencode('this is a space here').'/'.rawurlencode('and its a problem').'/'.rawurlencode('music song.mp3');

That's what urlencode does, along with all the other necessary replacements.
