How to download a file to server PHP?

Question

Is it possible with PHP script to have the script download a file on a remote server to my web server?

I have my own webserver and domain. I want to put a php script on

Answer 1

Sure, you'll need write permissions somewhere on the file system (where you want to save this file), file_get_contents can take a URL as its argument, you just need to write the resulting string to a new file

I'd personally do this by calling out to the shell and invoking wget or similar if i were on a linux box.
