Copy Image from Remote Server Over HTTP
If you have PHP5 and the HTTP stream wrapper enabled on your server, it's incredibly simple to copy it to a local file:
copy('http://somedomain.com/file.jpeg', '/tmp/file.jpeg');This will take care of any pipelining etc. that's needed. If you need to provide some HTTP parameters there is a third 'stream context' parameter you can provide.
PHP has a built-in function file_get_contents(), which reads the content of a file into a string.
<?php//Get the file$content = file_get_contents("http://example.com/image.jpg");//Store in the filesystem.$fp = fopen("/location/to/save/image.jpg", "w");fwrite($fp, $content);fclose($fp);?>
