file_save_data doesn't save image

Question

I'm using Drupal 7.56.. I want to upload images from other urls.. I use:

$image_original_path = '.. here my original path..';
$my_destination = 'sites/default/files/images/';
$my_new_name = 'my_image.jpg';
$filename = $my_destination.$my_new_name;
$image_object = file_get_contents($image_original_path);
$file = file_save_data($image_object,  $base_url.'/'.$filename, FILE_EXISTS_RENAME);

But the image is not uploaded.. Any idea please? Thank you..

Updated:
Try with this code:

$image_original_path = '.. here my original path..';
$image_object = file_get_contents($image_original_path);
$file = file_save_data($image_object, file_default_scheme().'://'.basename($image_original_path),FILE_EXISTS_RENAME);
// Add this code also
if (is_object($file)) { // if you get back a Drupal $file object, everything went as expected so make the status permenant
  $file->status = 1;
  $file = file_save($file);
}

My problem is fixed by

1. going to admin/config/media/file-system and save configurations with temporary folder = tmp
2. check permissions 777 on tmp folder
3. $filename = 'my_image.jpg'; $image_object = file_get_contents('...original_image_s_path...'); $file = file_save_data($image_object, 'public://' . $filename, FILE_EXISTS_RENAME);

This saves my image under sites/default/files

Thank you.
