PHP Youtube Data Api loading from another domain

Question

I followed the google api examples to download on youtube. However, if I want to upload a file that is hosted in another domain, for example:

$myVideoEntry = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube_VideoEntry();

// create a new Zend_Gdata_App_MediaFileSource object
$filesource = $yt->newMediaFileSource('http://www.myotherdomain.com/.../file.mov');
$filesource->setContentType('video/x-flv');

// set slug header
$filesource->setSlug('http://www.myotherdomain.com/.../file.mov');

// add the filesource to the video entry
$myVideoEntry->setMediaSource($filesource);

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Zend API probably does not support this. However, if you have write permissions, you can upload the file to your server and then send it.

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.myotherdomain.com/.../file.mov');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$contents = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

$file = fopen('temp/file.mov', 'w'); // If file is not found, attempts to create it
fwrite($file, $contents);
fclose($file);

// Upload via YouTube
