Re: save file from outside url

Ok. I stripped the needed code out of the image creation script and inserted it into my update script. It works great as long as I hard code in the filename of the file that is being saved to the server. When I pass the image creation function a variable for the filename it tells me "invalid filename", although I am echoing it out right before and it looks perfect. Any thoughts?
