[Wizardjv]

Hi I was wondering if someone could help with this. I have been looking some code I can use to upload images via urls. But I cant seem to find it anywhere and I tryed making one but cant get it to work. Does anyone know how to do this or know where I can find example?

Very interesting.. So I tried it out and seems to work fine. I was wondering though say I already have an upload script and would just like to incorporate it with mine. I dont know much about classes.

But say I wanted to save the file to a temp buffer and then pass it to this script.

// get variables for fields on upload screen
$thefile = $_FILES['thefile'];
$tos = $_POST['tos'];

$currentip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$messages = "";

So It can output like normal.

How would I send it there. I have tried with normal php setting an else and array. But its not working im wondering if its the class? If so could you help me? I would greatly appreciate it


Ok so this is the acctual function used to transload?

/**
* Transloads a file from another host to the upload directory.
*
* @return boolean
*/
function transload()
{
if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen') == 0)
{
$this->set_error($this->default_errors[15]);
return false;
}

if (!$this->is_valid_upload_path())
{
return false;
}

if (!empty($this->transload))
{
$filename = basename($this->transload);
$contents = '';

if (!$this->is_valid_file($filename, false))
{
return false;
}

set_time_limit(0);
@ini_set('user_agent', 'PHP');

if (!($fp = @fopen($this->transload, 'rb')))
{
$this->set_error($this->default_errors[14]);
return false;
}

while (!feof($fp))
{
$contents .= fread($fp, 8192);

if ($this->max_size AND (strlen($contents) > $this->max_size))
{
$this->set_error(sprintf($this->default_errors[9], $this->max_size));
return false;
}
}

fclose($fp);

if ($upload = @fopen($this->upload_path . $this->subdir . $this->rand_name($filename), 'w'))
{
fwrite($upload, $contents);
fclose($upload);
}

$this->uploaded_files[] = $filename;
return true;
}
}

Ok so say I wanted to use this function to load the uploaded file thats grabbed and turn it into

$thefile

So It loads into my already setup script? I am trying to understand it but..It seems like different than what im used to. Any help would be appreciated
