Remote File Download..?

[cyfer65]

is it possible to get a remote file from another site and download it through my site like a proxy, saving it to my computer..?what does the php code look like for this..?

[Ingolme]

Yes, it's possible. Sending the right Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers and using file_get_contents to load the file from the other site. If fopen doesn't have permission to perform remote requests you can use cURL to load the file contents instead.
