Download image from URL using php code? [duplicate]

Answer 1

What is your error ? But you have the right way to do what you want to do.

Just take care in your code, I can see file_put_contents($img_path, but $img_path is a path to a folder. You need to write something like :

example

$img_path="home/downloads/my_images";
file_put_contents($img_path."/flower.jpg");

Answer 2

file_put_contents($img_path, $content); 

To what are you putting to?? i think you have made a mistake with get and put. or missed to specify the full path including the file name and extension

Answer 3

You cannot save the image with your existing code because you do not provide a file name. You need to do something like:

$filenameIn  = $_POST['text'];
$filenameOut = __DIR__ . '/images/' . basename($_POST['text']);

$contentOrFalseOnFailure   = file_get_contents($filenameIn);
$byteCountOrFalseOnFailure = file_put_contents($filenameOut, $contentOrFalseOnFailure);

Answer 4

file_put_contents() requires first parameter to be file name not the path.

Answer 5

I added one condition to accepted answer to check the image type as follows,

 if (exif_imagetype($_POST['text']) == IMAGETYPE_PNG) {
     $filename = './images/'.basename($_POST['text']);
     file_put_contents($filename, $content);
 }

from above example I show how to check png images before download the files and for more content types you can find here .
