copied!<p>Here is a great example on <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/ftp.examples-basic.php" rel="nofollow">how to do FTP transfers in PHP</a>. As far as downloading the file, you could use <code>wget</code> if you're on linux (using the <code>exec()</code> function).</p> <pre><code>exec('wget -q ' . $url . ' -0 /path/to/newfile'); </code></pre> <p>Stealing a code snippet from that link I gave you, here is what your function might look like:</p> <pre><code>function downloadImageFromURLAndUploadFTP($image) { // in your case it would be some img extension like .jpg, .gif, or .png // you can check the extension of $image and use that if you want. $newFile = '/path/to/newfile.ext'; exec('wget -q ' . $image . ' -0 ' . $newFile); if (file_exists($newFile)) { // set up connection and login $connect = ftp_connect($ftpServer); $login = ftp_login($connect, $ftpUser, $ftpPass); // check connection if (!$connect || !$login) { die('FTP connection has failed!'); } else { echo "Connected to {$ftpServer}, for user {$ftpUser}"; } // upload the file $fileNameOnFTPServer = 'whateverYouWantToNameIt.ext'; // arbitrary extension $upload = ftp_put($connect, $fileNameOnFTPServer, $newFile, FTP_BINARY); // check upload status if (!$upload) { echo "FTP upload has failed!"; } else { echo "Uploaded {$image} to {$ftpServer} as {$fileNameOnFTPServer}"; } ftp_close($connect); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Sometimes <code>file_exists()</code> doesn't behave the way we intended when the path <em>begins</em> with <code>/</code>. For example <code>/path/to/file</code> might exist but <code>file_exists()</code> will think it doesn't unless you remove the beginning "/". One way to get around that is to check it like this:</p> <pre><code>file_exists(substr($newFile, 1)) </code></pre> <p>Good luck!</p>
