function system_retrieve_file

system_retrieve_file($url, $destination = NULL, $managed = FALSE, $replace = FILE_EXISTS_RENAME)

Attempts to get a file using Guzzle HTTP client and to store it locally.

Parameters

string $url: The URL of the file to grab.

string $destination: Stream wrapper URI specifying where the file should be placed. If a directory path is provided, the file is saved into that directory under its original name. If the path contains a filename as well, that one will be used instead. If this value is omitted, the site's default files scheme will be used, usually "public://".

bool $managed: If this is set to TRUE, the file API hooks will be invoked and the file is registered in the database.

int $replace: Replace behavior when the destination file already exists:

• FILE_EXISTS_REPLACE: Replace the existing file.
• FILE_EXISTS_RENAME: Append _{incrementing number} until the filename is unique.
• FILE_EXISTS_ERROR: Do nothing and return FALSE.

Return value

mixed One of these possibilities:

• If it succeeds and $managed is FALSE, the location where the file was saved.
• If it succeeds and $managed is TRUE, a \Drupal\file\FileInterface object which describes the file.
• If it fails, FALSE.
