Here is a function currently used in an extension maintenance script to
retrieve a remote file; it uses cURL which is not universally installed, stores
files in a temporary directory under the extension using a temporary name, the
former of which is fragile and writability must be tested within the script,
and returns the temporary filename or false:
function getHttpFile( $url ){
$val = false;
$tempName = tempnam( 'temp/', 'MyExtension' );
if( is_writable( $tempName ) ){
$tfh = fopen( $tempName, 'w' );
if( is_resource( $tfh ) ){
$ch = curl_init( $url );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $tfh );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false );
if( curl_exec( $ch ) ){
$val = $tempName;
}
curl_close( $ch );
fclose( $tfh );
}
}
return $val;
}
There are a lot of reasons this is a less-than-desirable solution.
