Downloading to Server

[phpcoder2013]

Is there any way with PHP to download a file (from a URL) to the server without using my internet connection?

 

PS: I am new to PHP

is there any way you could elaborate on that question?

You want to download something from the internet... without using your internet connection?

If you initiate a download on a server, it would use that server's internet connection, not your personal internet connection. Unless your server happens to use the same personal connection (ie, a server at your house) that is.

Is there a script I need to use or is there a button on the webserver?

First thing you should have to learn is, what a server is and what a server does. Try to "Google it".

An intranet or a home network connection should be Ok.

Never mind, the following script only minimally uses my internet connection

 

 

 

$file = 'http://ferrebeekeeper.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/m104_ngc4594_sombrero_galaxy_hi-res.jpg';
$newfile = 'Image.jpg';

if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
echo "failed to copy $file...\n";
}
else
{
echo $file . ' has been successfully copied to ' . $newfile;
}
?>
