O.P. [Solved]Download a file from an external server using PHP
Hello..

I need to download an ASCII file from an external server to the server PHP is hosted, using PHP.

The reason I want to do this, is because I need to work with a file located in an external server.

I tried opening the file directly by passing the url as the file to open, but it said that allow_url_fopen is disabled.

I was suggested to use mod_socket to download the file, but it seems that mod_socket is disabled, because when I try to use socket_create; it says that I'm making a call to an undefined function...

So what can I do to download the file?

Thanks. :wavespam:
