Saving file in php

I have a variable: $Name = "name of the file". Now I download a file and store in it with that name and its extension. I used cURL.

$Name = "name of the file"
$fp = fopen ('download/$Name.zip' , 'w+'); 
$ch = curl_init($downurl);

But this didn't work. It saved a file named $Name.zip I want it to be saved as "name of the file.zip" in download folder.

I am learning php. Please help me. Thanks!

change 

$fp = fopen ('download/$Name.zip' , 'w+');

to

$fp = fopen ("download/$Name".".zip" , 'w+');

you'll also need to set some header info if you wish to output the file rather than just dump its contents

  Header("Content-type: archive/zip");
  Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=download.zip");

Use double quotes in the fopen call:

$fp = fopen ("download/$Name.zip" , 'w+');

Interpolation of variables doesn't work if you surround the string in single quotes, it has to be double quotes. You can read more about variable interpolation on Wikipedia.
