while above function is working on localhost but not server

you can't access file by http://myweburl/uploads/files/1506514901_txt.txt this path you need to get the path by directory location — shashi, Oct 04 '17 at 07:07
If your myweburl folder is directly on next level to public_html try public_html/path_without_http — shashi, Oct 04 '17 at 07:10
