file_put_contents($lesson->id.'test'.$i.'.mp3', $resp->getAudioContent());

my local URL contains public word but live URL is without public word Thanks for any help

Answer

You did not declare the root folder of your application the same as the server. To put your file in the public folder on the server do

file_put_contents('public/'.$lesson->id.'test'.$i.'.mp3', $resp->getAudioContent());

You can also use the absolute path of your public folder to make it work on both your local installation and the server

file_put_contents(public_path($lesson->id.'test'.$i.'.mp3'), $resp->getAudioContent());
