Copying remote files using fopen and fwrite

i wanted a remote file uploader in php, i mean a form where you send the URI of a file on other web and the script saves it locally.

i tried:

[PHP]<? if(empty($_POST)){ ?>
<html>
<body>
<form method=POST>
<b>URL del Archivo </b>
<input type=text name=uri><br>
<input type=text name=srv>
<input type=submit value=Descargar>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?
}else{
$file = $_POST['uri'];

$ges = fopen($file, "r");
$ges = fwrite($ges, "\.\/some.thing");
}
?>[/PHP]

1. I know there's something wrong but don't know what

2. How can i store it with the original name and extension ?

thanks

Changed thread title to better match contents.

$ges = fopen($file, "r");

$ges = fwrite($ges, "\.\/some.thing");

}

?>

1. You're opening a file with read access ('r'), then you try to write to it. Nope. :P

http://php.net/fopen

2. You want to do something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
$file = basename($_POST['uri']);

copy("/path/to/source/$file", "/path/to/dest/$file");

http://php.net/copy

</form>
</body>
</html>
<?
}else{
$uri = $_POST['uri'];
$file = basename($_POST['uri']);
copy("$uri", "$file");
echo $file."<br>".$uri;
}

Looks pretty good to me. Note that you will be copying the file to the same directory as your script.

If this doesn't work (I can't remember if copy allows you to use URLs or not), try using file_put_contents instead.
