etrader Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 This solution is perfect, but is it possible to get the file extension from the downloaded file? Now we get the extension from the $test string, but if downloading from e.g. file sharing websites, the url may not include the file name. And additionally, if the rar or zip file contains part1 part2, it will be considered as a part of the file name. I think if first downloading the file on the server, we can get the file information, then renaming. I have explored some codes, but none of them are comparable with your elegantly short idea; this is the reason that I continue this thread.
