I don't think I understand the question. If you want to move files from one host to another, use something like [a href=\"http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html\" target=\"_blank\"]PuTTY[/a] as the Telnet/SSH client. If - as imageshack does - you want to upload files from your computer (or your site users want to), then use a simple image uploader such as [a href=\"http://fundisom.com/phparadise/php/image_handling/image_upload_and_resize\" target=\"_blank\"]LixlPixel's excellent free script[/a].

well, you right. you didnt understand me :)

i am BUILDING an uploading system.

If i want to upload a file from my computer to the host, i use:
move_uploaded_file

and IT WORKS!


But what i need to do if i want to ReHost the image?
what function to use?
lets say, i have:

image.com/logo.jpg

and i want to upload to the server, directly, not downloading it to my computer and the uploading....

imageshack have this option (url upload).


i hope now you understand me :)

Read through the examples and suggestions here...

Lite...

hum, if there's no embedded function you can simply save the remote stuff using some fopen or other function with the url

It sounds like imageshack is merely taking the supplied URL and downloading the file directly. Nothing fancy there.. Although I suspect they would check file size first..

[mlnn]

well, thanks but most of you are wrong =\

i managed to do what i want with the function COPY.
Yes :)

now there are only two problems:

1. how to check the file size?
2. how to get the name of the file? because i get: [a href=\"http://domain.com/file123.ext\" target=\"_blank\"]http://domain.com/file123.ext[/a] (the extention i also managed to get so i only have: [a href=\"http://domain.com/file123\" target=\"_blank\"]http://domain.com/file123[/a] ). how is it possible to get only the name of the file? (file123)?

thanks.

I have been away for a bit, but I would suggest that you use smarter language when replying, because those people that replied to you were certainly not wrong.

Hrm.. how about some regex wizardry?

[code]
preg_match('/^http:\/\/(?:.*\/)(.*)$/', $url, $matches);
[/code]

$matches should have the filename..

Or, if you strip off the htttp://, you can use basename() to get the filename...

markduce - WTF oO

YAY i dont it :)

thanks everyone :)


[code]
$file_type=substr($file,strrpos($file,'.')+1);
$file_name=pathinfo($file);
$file_name=$file_name['basename'];
$file_name=substr($file_name,0,strrpos($file_name,'.'));
[/code]
