Uploading 1000 images via url using PHP - php

Question

I want to upload 1000 images in just one click via URL. I have 1000 Image URLs stored in MYSQL database.
So please any one give me PHP code to upload that 1000 images via URL through mysql database.
Currently I am using the bellow code:-
It upload one image per click by posting URL of image...
But i want to upload 1000 image in one click by getting URLs from databse
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM thumb") or die(mysql_error());
// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
echo "<div>";
$oid = $row['tid'];
$th= $row['q'];
echo "</div>";
$thi = $th;
$get_url = $post["url"];
$url = trim('$get_url');
if($url){
$file = fopen($url,"rb");
$directory = "thumbnail/";
$valid_exts = array("php","jpeg","gif","png","doc","docx","jpg","html","asp","xml","JPEG","bmp");
$ext = end(explode(".",strtolower(basename($url))));
if(in_array($ext,$valid_exts)){
$filename = "$oid.$ext";
$newfile = fopen($directory . $filename, "wb");
if($newfile){
while(!feof($file)){
fwrite($newfile,fread($file,1024 * 8),1024 * 8);
}
echo 'File uploaded successfully';
echo '**$$**'.$filename;
}
else{
echo 'File does not exists';
}
}
else{
echo 'Invalid URL';
}
}
else{
echo 'Please enter the URL';
}
}
Thanks a lot.... …

The code you have is outdated and a lot more complex than needed. This is not a site where you get code because you ask, this is a learning environment.
I'll give you an example on which you can continue:
// Select the images (those we haven't done yet):
$sItems = mysql_query("SELECT id,url FROM thumb WHERE imported=0") or die(mysql_error());
// Loop through them:
while( $fItems = mysql_fetch_assoc($sItems) ){
$imgSource = file_get_contents($fItems['url']); // get the image
// Check if it didn't go wrong:
if( $imgSource!==false ){
// Which directory to put the file in:
$newLocation = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/Location/to/dir/";
// The name of the file:
$newFilename = basename($fItems['url'], $imgSource);
// Save on your server:
file_put_content($newLocation.$newFilename);
}
// Update the row in the DB. If something goes wrong, you don't have to do all of them again:
mysql_query("UPDATE thumb SET imported=1 WHERE id=".$fItems['id']." LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());
}
Relevant functions:
file_get_contents() - Get the content of the image
file_put_contents() - Place the content given in this function in a file specified
basename() - given an url, it gives you the filename only
Important:
You are using mysql_query. This is deprecated (should no longer be used), use PDO or mysqli instead
I suggest you make this work from the commandline and add an echo after the update so you can monitor progress
