[PHP] Get image from url

[w1ww]

Hello,

I'm wondering, using PHP how can I get an image from an url and save it to a folder?

any example of coding?


Thank you!

I'll use jp(e)g as an example.

You can use a URL as a
filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled.
See fopen() for more details on how to specify
the filename and Appendix N, List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers for a list of supported
URL protocols.

<?php

$im = imagecreatefromjpeg($urltojpegimage);
imagejpeg($im, 'path/to/file.jpg', 100);

?>

http://us.php.net/imagecreatefromgif
http://us.php.net/imagecreatefrompng

Thank you Eric, it seems easy ! I thought it was going to be hard to do it !

I'm going to test it right now!

Thank you once again!

<?php

$url    = "http://url.to/file/here.png";
$data   = file_get_contents($url);
$name   = explode("/", $url);
$handle = fopen($name[count($name)-1], "w");
fwrite($handle, $data);
fclose($handle);

?>

Works for any type of file.
