Create Remote File Download #933

Closed SofiaEza closed 1 year ago

SofiaEza commented 1 year ago

In this code, the $_POST superglobal is used to retrieve the remote file URL inputted by the user. The local file path and name is defined using the basename() function, which extracts the file name from the remote URL and appends it to the local directory path.

To download the remote file and save it locally, the code uses the curl library, which provides a way to send HTTP requests and download files. The CURLOPT_FILE option is set to the local file path to specify where to save the downloaded file. The CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option is set to 1 to allow cURL to follow any redirects to the file location. The CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option is set to 1 to return the transfer as a string instead of outputting it directly. The CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT option is set to 10 seconds to limit the connection time in case the remote file is not available.

After the download is complete, the code outputs a success or error message to the user depending on the result of the download.

This PHP code provides a unique and reliable solution for downloading remote files and saving them locally. It uses the cURL library to handle the download process, and provides clear feedback to the user on the success or failure of the download.
