fopen fread fwrite fclose

[ElectricShaka]

I am using the following code to download images from the web to my server.

$url = 'http://www.whateverurl.com/img.jpg';

$destination=fopen("myupload/newfile.jpg","w");

$source=fopen($url,"r");

while ($a=fread($source,1024)) fwrite($destination,$a);

fclose($source);

fclose($destination);

 

This works perfectly when the image is on my site. But for any image anywhere else on the web it just ends up giving me a blank image on my ftp. Can you not use the fopen if it's a different URL or something? Is there a different function I should be using? My allow_url_fopen is enabled. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.  ???

Try this:

 

$url = 'http://www.whateverurl.com/img.jpg';
$source=fopen($url,"r");
while (!FEOF($a)) {
  $a = $a . fread($source,512);
}
fclose($source);

$destination=fopen("myupload/newfile.jpg","w");
fwrite($destination,$a);
fclose($destination);
