jQuery and PHP Remote Upload - php

Question

I need help with a Remote Upload Script that has a page named 'uploadHandler.php'. I need to create a Remote Upload Script with jQuery PHP File Upload (jQuery File Upload). I would like to upload through this script a file that comes from a different server by entering only the URL. How can this be done?
Let me explain. I have a form that sends a request to uploadHandler.php when a user uploads a file from his computer. The problem is that the type is 'multipart/form-data' so I cannot upload via URL. I tried to put a URL but the system returns
[{"name":"","size":0,"type":null,"error":"File received has zero size."}]
So, what should I do to make sure that the file is processed by uploadHandler.php and then stored correctly? I had thought to download the file from the server and then upload it to do so treated. But how? I enclose the contents of uploadHandler.php for those who want to read it. Thank you in advance for your help, and I apologize for the grammar and vocabulary wrong: I'm not English.

You need downloader. Not uploader. You want to download a file to your server from another server. To achieve that from PHP, you can use cUrl or file_get_contents. In the form, just take the URL and when the form is submitted, download the file from that URL to your server using cUrl or file_get_contents().
