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";
}
}
?>

Try changing your form?

<form action="uploader.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Upon further review, I see you are posting the URL and not the file, so the above isn't applicable.  Why do you wish to do it your way?

 

Also, you really want to allow the user to upload .exe files?
