What I'm trying to do:
file_get_contents()
an online image, then save it to a directory on my server, with a new filename.
The save path / directory is writable. CHMOD permissions: 777
What I've tried:
file_put_contents($filepath, file_get_contents($image_url));
// SAVES 0KB IMAGEcopy($image_url,$filepath);
// SAVES 0KB IMAGEcURL // SAVES 0KB IMAGE
So I'm already getting confused why none of this is working, when it should be...
Here are the relevant values inside my PHPinfo:
allow_url_fopen = On allow_url_include = On open_basedir = no value post_max_size = 8M upload_max_filesize = 50M upload_tmp_dir = no value max_execution_time = 18000 max_file_uploads = 20 max_input_nesting_level = 64 max_input_time = 60 max_input_vars = 1000 memory_limit = 256M
And here is my full PHP code (I'm now using a function to save the image, because I'm just about desperate enough to try anything):
function save_image($inPath,$outPath)
{ // Download images from remote server
$in= fopen($inPath, "rb");
$out= fopen($outPath, "wb");
while ($chunk = fread($in,8388608))
{
fwrite($out, $chunk, 8388608);
}
fclose($in);
fclose($out);
}
// THE ORIGINAL IMAGE TO GET
$image_url = 'http://m1.i.pbase.com/u38/antidote3/upload/31848351.Cute.jpg';
// THE IMAGE EXTENSION
$image_type = substr(strrchr($image_url,"."),1);
// THE NEW FILE NAME
$filename = 'product5_'. md5($image_url . $sku).'.'.$image_type;
// THE SAVE PATH
// OUTPUT: /var/www/site/media/catalog/product/FILE_NAME.FILE_TYPE
$filepath = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'catalog'. DS . 'product'. DS . $filename;
// SAVE THIS BIATCH!
save_image($image_url, $filepath);
// OTHER SAVE METHODS
// file_put_contents($filepath, file_get_contents($image_url));
// copy($image_url,$filepath);
Running strlen(file_get_contents($image_url))
on the image returns a big fat 0
.
But shouldn't it work with the following enabled on my server?
allow_url_fopen = On allow_url_include = On
Apparently, the problem doesn't lie on the writing, but file_get_contents($image_url)
doesn't have anything inside it.
Any ideas why? Thanks!
