Download remote files (on http url ) using curl and PHP

download-file-from-http.php

<?php
//$file - should contain full url 
// $newFileName - full physical path directory with file name
function getFile($file, $newFileName) 
{ 
    $err_msg = ''; 
    echo "<br>Attempting message download for $file<br>"; 
    $out = fopen($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, $file); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

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

    curl_close($ch); 
    fclose($out); 
}
?>
