Downloading and saveing in php

[solex]

hi,

i want to add in to my script a bit of code that will download a file from a url on a server, and resave to my new location with a new name.

the old and new local will not change so no interface will be needed.

Got any ideas?

thanx in advance

It's the return value of ftp_connect, you need to connect to the FTP server before transferring.

solex:

You may have to use FTP -- It depends on the protocol the foreign server uses to hand out documents.

You haven't specified the protocol you need to fetch the file -- only that you have to get a file from a URL.
