php - Can I use file_put_contents() to populate $_FILES? -
the goal:
i have url of image. image file , upload $_files
if image uploaded client.
the reason:
i need because have form in users can either upload image file in input type="file"
field or enter image url in input type="text"
field , later, when validate form, want validation function access file using $_files
regardless method user chose supply image (either uploading file or entering file url.)
the problem:
i found this answer on using file_put_contents()
, file_get_contents()
don't understand if can use change $_files
, if yes how.
edit:
after reading david's comment, understood mistake. need way download file url using file_get_contents()
, file_put_contents()
same temporary location on server uploaded files downloaded to. able handle files same way regardless of how got there (url or file upload).
