saving a jpeg via HTTP

What is the best way using only PHP to grab a image file off a website a d save it locally? I know I can use wget and this would be a piece of cake, but in this case I don't want to rely on external programs. I'm trying to read it with fsockopen and writing it with fopen to the file but the file is no good when it's saved, I saw that it saved the http headers in there so I cut those out but still, the image wan't viewable. I was using fsockopen instead of file because I want to use the timeout feature of fsockopen. any help is appriciated. -- Jeff Bearer, RHCE Webmaster, PittsburghLIVE.com 2002 EPpy Award, Best Online U.S. Newspaper
