How to move Uploaded file to another host in Php - apache

Question

Can anyone help me to implement how to move uploaded file from one server to another
I am not talking about the move_uploaded_file() function.
for example,
If the image is uploaded from http://example.com
How can I move it to http://image.example.com
It is possible right? Not by sending another post or put request?

Answer 1

Take the Uploaded file, move it to a temporary location and push it then to any FTP-Acount you like.
$tempName = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'upload');
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmpname"], $tempName);
$handle = fopen("ftp://user:password#example.com/somefile.txt", "w");
fwrite($handle, file_get_contents($uploadedFile));
fclose($handle);
unlink($tempName);
Actually you don't even need the part with the move_uploaded_file. It is totally sufficent to take the uploaded file and write it's content to the file opened with fopen. For more informations on opening URLs with fopenhave a look at the php-documentation. For more information on uploading files have a look at the File-Upload-Section of the PHP-Manual
[Edit] Added file_get_contents to the code-example
[Edit] Shorter Example
$handle = fopen("ftp://user:password#example.com/somefile.txt", "w");
fwrite($handle, file_get_contents($_FILES["file"]["tmpname"]);
fclose($handle);
// As the uploaded file has not been moved from the temporary folder
// it will be deleted from the server the moment the script is finished.
// So no cleaning up is required here.
