PHP将图像从url复制到文件夹

Question

Why are my images not being copied from URL to local? I get no errors or anything. I know there are a lot of similar questions - but I got no clue what is wrong. Feels like I have tried everything.

Hope one of you might be able to tell me what is wrong.

$url = 'https://example.com/media/'.$fetch['img'].'?w=128&h=128';
$img = '/images/hoses/fittings/'.$fetch['img'];

copy($url, $img);

• URL is valid
• Allow_url_fopen is set to true.
• Local folder exist and permission is set to 755

I have also tried using cUrl, same problem.

$content = file_get_contents($url);
$fp = fopen($img, "w");
fwrite($fp, $content);
fclose($fp);

What can cause this problem? Not sure where to look :(

UPDATE: @04FS found the error. If was the starting slash.

Working code:

$url = "https://example.com/media/".$fetch['img']."?w=128&h=128";
$img = "images/hoses/fittings/".$fetch['img'];

if(!copy($url, $img)) {
    print_r(error_get_last());
} else {
    echo "File copied from remote!";
}

$img = '/images/hoses/fittings/'.$fetch['img'];

/images/hoses/fittings/ would refer to the server file system root directory , because of the leading slash.

If you want this to be a relative path inside your project folder, then that leading slash needs to be removed.
