Saving file using curl and PHP

curl, php, xml

Solution

did you want something like this ?

function get_file($file, $local_path, $newfilename) 
{ 
    $err_msg = ''; 
    echo "<br>Attempting message download for $file<br>"; 
    $out = fopen($local_path.$newfilename,"wb");
    if ($out == FALSE){ 
      print "File not opened<br>"; 
      exit; 
    } 

    $ch = curl_init(); 

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $out); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file); 

    curl_exec($ch); 
    echo "<br>Error is : ".curl_error ( $ch); 

    curl_close($ch); 
    //fclose($handle); 

}//end function 

Functionality: Its a function and accepts three parameters

get_file($file, $local_path, $newfilename)

`$file` : is the filename of the object to be retrieved

`$local_path` : is the local path to the directory to store the object

`$newfilename` : is the new file name on the local system
