将XML文件从URL下载到cron服务器

Question

I've a problem, probably not so difficult most of you… Please help me

There is https://fakesite.com/example where is xml file. When I give this URL to explorer, asks what I would like do this file, where I want save etc.

I need a small php script to my server, which is enable to download this xml file and save into my predefined server folder. If the file (filename) already exist in my root folder, overwrite them. The file name not important, would be original or anything with extension xml. This php script should have run, when cron calls.

Any help would be appreciated….

Thanks in advance

1. Use file_get_contents to download file contents.
2. Create an output file name ie. using date ( date('Ymd-His') ) or a random string ( md5(date('now')) )
3. Save data to the file using file_put_contents .
