 * Hi all.
    I want to upload an image from url to my website using wp_handle_upload.
   I don’t know how to convert the url of the image to $file array (the first argument).
   Have you got any ideas? Should I use another function? Thanks in advance for 
   helping me.

 * The solution is a function media_sideload_image. The topic can be closed.
