Question

$ch = curl_init();
$fp = fopen("$localName",'w');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $src);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 200);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://google.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$rawdata=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

fwrite($fp, $rawdata); 
fclose($fp);

… writes the file but invalid (0 bytes). Please tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Answer 1

Turned out the problem was some images were loaded but with 302 redirect status message which confused the curl.
