Question

Okay, I have a question guys. I want to remote upload (copy an image from a site to my server) MULTIPLE images by putting links into a TEXTAREA and hitting submit. I just don’t know how to make this possible with multiple images.

I am able to make it with an single image using the copy(); function, but not for multiple entries in a TEXTAREA.

I also want to limit the remote uploading feature up to 30 remote links and one image should not exceed 10MB – But I don’t know how to start. I heard cURL is able to make this and I also heard that file_get_contents(); with file_put_contents(); can make a similar thing, but I still cannot figure out how to do it myself.

Help anyone? 🙂

You can use the same procedure as you do now with a single image, but do it in a loop.

$lines = explode("\n", $_POST['textarea']);
if(count($lines) > 30) {
  die('Too many files');
}
foreach($lines as $line) {
  $srcfile = trim($line);
  //copy $srcfile here
  //check size of the file with filesize()
}
