    copied!<p>How can I download the following URL (image) using PHP: <code>http://www.delo.si/assets/media/picture/20121228/POLITIČNI05 tomi lombar.jpg?rev=2</code>?</p> <p>The problem is that PHP somehow doesn't support unicode letters in the URL (see the <code>Č</code> letter in there?). I've tried using both <code>file_get_contents</code> and cURL, none work. Bellow is my non-working code.</p> <p><strong><code>file_get_contents</code>:</strong></p> <pre><code>$url = "http://www.delo.si/assets/media/picture/20121228/POLITIČNI05 tomi lombar.jpg?rev=2"; $stream_context = array('http' =&gt; array( 'method'=&gt;"GET", 'header'=&gt;"Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8" )); $image_contents = file_get_contents($url, false, stream_context_create($stream_context)); file_put_contents("image.jpg", $image_contents); </code></pre> <p><strong>cURL:</strong></p> <pre><code>$url = "http://www.delo.si/assets/media/picture/20121228/POLITIČNI05 tomi lombar.jpg?rev=2"; $ch = curl_init($url); $fp = fopen('image.jpg', 'wb'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "UTF-8"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8")); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); fclose($fp); </code></pre> <p><strong>What "doesn't work" means:</strong> What I meant with "doesn't work is that I get a different picture downloaded than the one I get if I paste the URL in my browser. This site apparently has a fallback picture set up, so if the picture doesn't exist, you get the default one.</p>
