downloading zip file from url using php

Question

its not about file duplicate,

// not working code , because i assign $zip_url dynamic

function downloadZipFile($dynamic_url, $filepath){ //echo $dynamic_url;exit; $zip_url = $dynamic_url; $destination_path = $filepath; file_put_contents($destination_path, fopen($zip_url, 'r')); }

// working code but here i assign $zip_url static

function downloadZipFile($dynamic_url, $filepath){ //echo $dynamic_url;exit; $zip_url = "http://training.costaclick.net/WAWS_1_9/Catalog/4dd946a8-32e6-43b8-a592-6596a4509ec5-out.zip"; $destination_path = $filepath; file_put_contents($destination_path, fopen($zip_url, 'r')); }

Try this code :

$ch = curl_init(); $source = "http://someurl.com/afile.zip"; //$source = $dynamic_url curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $source); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $data = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); $destination = "/sub_folder/". uniqid(time(), true) .".zip"; $file = fopen($destination, "w+"); fputs($file, $data); fclose($file);

$source can be dynamic value of url. uniqid(time(), true) will generate random file name. In the we will store it in path specified in $destination variable.

Alternate Solution :

$zip_url = "http://www.colorado.edu/conflict/peace/download/peace.zip"; $destination_path = "/var/www/html/files/".uniqid(time(), true)."zip"; file_put_contents($destination_path, fopen($zip_url, 'r'));

$zip_url will be dynamic zip url and $destination_path will be location on your local machine.

Note : make sure you've proper permission on destination path folder.

@SindhujaN just try both solutions and tell me output. keep error reporting on.

<?php // HTTP Headers for ZIP File Downloads // https://perishablepress.com/press/2010/11/17/http-headers-file-downloads/ // set example variables $filename = "Inferno.zip"; $filepath = "/var/www/domain/httpdocs/download/path/"; // http headers for zip downloads header("Pragma: public"); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Cache-Control: public"); header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\""); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filepath.$filename)); ob_end_flush(); @readfile($filepath.$filename); ?>
