I'm trying to copy an image from a remote server with the following code:
$src = "//www.imagelocation.com/image.jpg";
$dest = "/server/location/upload/";
file_put_contents[$dest, file_get_contents[$src]];
Unfortunately I keep getting the following error:
Warning: file_put_contents[/server/location/upload/] [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Is a directory in /server/location/myscript.php on line 220
Do you have any ideas how to get around this?

$src = "//www.imagelocation.com/image.jpg";
$dest = "/server/location/upload/" . basename[$src];
file_put_contents[$dest, file_get_contents[$src]];
You need to specify the filename. I added basename[$src] which will write to the same filename that the original was. Be careful if you're copying from other directories, basename[] only returns the filename so if you copy /image.jpg and /a/image.jpg you'll write over the original.

This is because $dest is a directory, not a file. You could either manually specify the filename or use basename[]

To copy an image from one folder to another folder you have to read the image file that you want to copy. Then create another file with the same name as the original file in the directory to where you want to copy.
Copy[] function:
The copy[] function in PHP is used
to copy a file from source to target or destination directory. It makes a copy of the source file to the destination file and if the destination file already exists, it gets overwritten. The copy[] function returns true on success and false on failure.

Before 20 days I had one task, in which I need to copy / transfer image files from one server to another dynamically.
To fulfill my requirement I used php “libcurl” library, which created by Daniel Stenberg, and allows you to connect and communicate to many different types of servers with many different types of protocols.
Follow the under given steps to copy / transfer files from one server to another using curl :
Step : 1 : Copy and use the under given code in your php script
$ch = curl_init ["Source file’s complete url”];
curl_setopt[$ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0];
curl_setopt[$ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1];
curl_setopt[$ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER,1];
$rawdata = curl_exec[$ch];
// Check if any error occured
if[curl_errno[$ch]]
{
$fp = fopen[“Destination file’s complete url”, 'w'];
fwrite[$fp, $rawdata];
fclose[$fp];
}
curl_close [$ch];
ob_flush[];
flush[];
Step : 2 : Replace
"Source file’s complete url”
properly.
Step : 3 : And replace
“Destination file’s complete url”
according to your requirement.
That’s it.
So now you are able to copy / transfer files from one server to another.
I hope this will help you….!!
