hi,

title says it all really, i am looking to download a data-feed using a script and so far all the examples i have come across using curl and others don't seem to be working. What is the best way to download these large files? and for later what is the best way to handle these files for import into MySQL server (i have heard LOAD DATA INFILE is the best) is this true?

thanks reddit,

EDIT: cURL is now working, but is displaying the file instead of saving it code below

<?php

$path = 'datafeed.gz';

$fp = fopen($path, 'w');

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $constURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1 );

echo "curl";
$fp = curl_exec($curl);
echo "curl1";

curl_close($curl);
fclose($fp);

?>

EDIT: SOLVED
