Question

My code retrieves photos from urls and using file_put_contents add them to the current directory, but I need it to add them to /wordpress/wp-content/uploads where wordpress save the manually uploaded files.

$Address = "www.xxx.com/" . $file;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$url = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$location = "/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/a.jpg"; 
file_put_contents($location, file_get_contents($url));
if(! function_exists('wp_upload_dir'))
                {
                    define('WP_USE_THEMES',false);
                    require 'wordpress/wp-load.php';
                }
    $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); 
    echo $upload_dir['path'];
    echo $upload_dir['url'];
    echo $upload_dir['subdir']; 

I even copied the following part in my index file but it did not solve the problem

  if(! function_exists('wp_upload_dir'))
                    {
                        define('WP_USE_THEMES',false);
                        require 'wordpress/wp-load.php';
                    }

Some ideas:

$uploads = wp_upload_dir();
$upload_path = $uploads['baseurl']; // get uploads dir

rename("a.jpg", trailingslashit($upload_path) . "a.jpg"); // move

UPDATE

I guess that you are working outside of WP. Try this to get wp_upload_dir() and all WP functionality before your code:

if ( ! function_exists('wp_upload_dir'))
{
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
    require PATH_WP_DIR . '/wp-load.php';
    // ex: require '/wordpress/wp-load.php';
}
