I am trying to download pdf file from this url:
http://knihy.cpress.cz/?p=actions&action=download/file&value=files&id=149253
I tried get file through file_get_contents, but it downloaded just php file without actual pdf.
Is there a way to download this file?
Thank you very much!

<?php
function collect_file($url){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.xcontest.org");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return($result);
}
function write_to_file($text,$new_filename){
$fp = fopen($new_filename, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $text);
fclose($fp);
}
// start loop here
$new_file_name = "testfile.pdf";
$url = "http://knihy.cpress.cz/?p=actions&action=download/file&value=files&id=149253";
$temp_file_contents = collect_file($url);
write_to_file($temp_file_contents,$new_file_name)
// end loop here
?>
