How to copy files to external hard drive in php

Question

I'm using a php script to download large files from a server and then do some processing. How can I copy them to my external hard drive after I'm done processing them?

Update: I can use copy() . How do I reference my external drive? It shows up as Iomega_HDD in finder. But

copy('test.jpg, 'Iomega_HDD/test2.jpg') 

doesn't work.

Update2:

copy('test.jpg, '/Volumes/Iomega_HDD/test2.jpg') 

Did trick ...

Answer 1

为什么不使用php copy()命令呢？

Answer 2

Just use any file function and specify the full path to the correct drive, assuming you have write access to that drive. Here is an example using file_put_contents .

In windows:

file_put_contents( 'E:\somefile.txt', $data);

In Linux:

file_put_contents( '/media/{yourdeviceID}/somefile.txt', $data);
