Loading remote file with id

[daljeetseni]

Hi,

I am trying to save an external file on my server which is like http://website.com/download.php?id=55134

file_get_contents does not work neither curl works,

basically, this page should be loaded and then this id will be called, On my server exec command is disabled. so any other way, i can do this ?

 

Thanks.

file_get_contents needs allow_url_fopen = 1 in your php.ini to allow downloading files from an external source.

 

curl may need to be enabled in your php.ini or you need to post the curl code so we can check it.

 

Is display_errors = On in your php.ini?

Hi thanks for reply,

here is my code, with file_get_contents which work perfectly for files with extensions like .pdf, .mp3 e.t.c,

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$url =urldecode(trim($_POST['url']));
$content = file_get_contents($url);
$name=basename($url);
$fp = fopen($name, "w");
fwrite($fp, $content);
fclose($fp);
echo "<a href='".$name."'>".$name."</a>";

and here is the curl code:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$source = "http://website/file.php?id=123";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $source);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
$data = curl_exec ($ch);
$error = curl_error($ch); 
curl_close ($ch);
$destination = "test.mp3";
$file = fopen($destination, "w+");
fputs($file, $data);
fclose($file);

In case of loading the curl script, it does not give any error, but writes a 0 byte file named test.mp3

what i want is, the code should work even for files which are not having extension meaning, which are called by id like for example,

http://website/file.php?id=123

so, i want to load this type of url in php script which can grab the file, if that is possible .
