Downloading a remote server file via PHP

Question

I have two servers, one with my site, the other for storage. I'm trying to have a page where someone can upload a file to a storage server, I hope to use a form message to get it there. I wrote very simple code to fix this problem, and I have problems. It works fine if I change the action to .php, which saves it on the same server, but when I change it to my storage server, it cannot load and will show me an “else” echo that failed to load. / p>

HTML on my web server:

<form action="http://storageServer/upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <label for="file">Filename:</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> 

PHP on my storage server:

 <?php $folder = "files/"; $path = $folder . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']); if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $path)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['file']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else{ echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!"; } ?> 

.php is located in the html folder with the files folder.

Any reason the file doesn't get to the server you see?

This question answers your question.

As suggested, you can try the following:

 $ch = curl_init("http://www.remotepage.com/upload.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CUROPT_POSTFIELDS, array('fileupload' => '@'.$_FILES['theFile' ['tmp_name'])); echo curl_exec($ch);
