Simple php function to download files like pdf, xml, doc and images from a url and save to given path in server

function download_remote($source_url , $destination_path) {
    $file = fopen( $destination_path , 'w+');
    $file_handle = fopen($source_url , "rb");
    while (!feof($file_handle)) {
        $file_contents = fread($file_handle, 8192);
        fwrite($file , $file_contents);
