Copy remote files with copy() function

Seven years old comment in PHP manual, which still shines like a real gem! You can use copy() function to easily (one-liner!) copy remote files, without doing messy fopen() stuff:

if(!@copy('http://someserver.com/somefile.zip','./somefile.zip'))
{
    $errors = error_get_last();
    
    echo "COPY ERROR: ".$errors['type'];
    echo "<br />\n".$errors['message'];
}
else echo "File copied from remote!";

steve a h, whoever you’re or were, I salute you!
