Save file with file_put_contents in folder

file_put_contents('image.jpg',file_get_contents('http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/12f0cc69cd9742faa9c8ee0f7b0d210e.jpg'));

Saving the file in current folder is working ok, but if I try

file_put_contents('/subfolder/image.jpg',file_get_contents('http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/12f0cc69cd9742faa9c8ee0f7b0d210e.jpg'));

I have an error:

failed to open stream: No such file or directory in […]

Why does this error occur? How can I save the file in a subfolder?

In MAMP on a Mac, something like this will work:

file_put_contents( '/Users/user/Sites/mysite.mamp/wp-content/test-files/delete-this-test.html', '<p>foo</p>' );

Use FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH

If 'html' is the subfolder where you want to save the file to:

file_put_contents('html/'.$filename.'.ext', $text, FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH | FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

You must use backslashes:

     file_put_contents('images\\'.$filename, base64_decode($imgBase64));

or

    file_put_contents('K:\\Site\\images\\'.$filename, base64_decode($imgBase64));

my problem was caused by folder permissions. when I created my subfolder, the root was the owner, since my php runs with the apache user, I needed to update the owner of the folder to be apache.

$dir = "folder_name".$filename;

you can use the above to simply put contents to any file of any folder.

file_put_contents('../subfolder/image.jpg',file_get_contents('http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/12f0cc69cd9742faa9c8ee0f7b0d210e.jpg'));

add "../" in your string put into the file_put_contents function then it will work fine..

Always use full paths and make sure the directory is writable. You can also use copy directly with URL 

$url = 'http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/12f0cc69cd9742faa9c8ee0f7b0d210e.jpg';
$dir = __DIR__ . "/subfolder"; // Full Path
$name = 'image.jpg';

is_dir($dir) || @mkdir($dir) || die("Can't Create folder");
copy($url, $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $name);

You should check if folder exsits and if not create this folder

$dir_to_save = "/subfolder/";
if (!is_dir($dir_to_save)) {
  mkdir($dir_to_save);
}
file_put_contents($dir_to_save.'image.jpg',file_get_contents('http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/12f0cc69cd9742faa9c8ee0f7b0d210e.jpg'));

also make sure that you want to use ABSOLUTE_PATH instead of RELATIVE

Try to leave out the first slash:

file_put_contents('subfolder/image.jpg',file_get_contents('http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/12f0cc69cd9742faa9c8ee0f7b0d210e.jpg'));

Check the access rights if this still doesn't work.
