Hi, I got a pretty good code snippet from Zend to grap a remote image and save it to disk, the problem is, when it saves to my disk i am unable to open the images...they are blank and the file matches the remote images filesize...

ob_start(); readfile($url); $img = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $size = strlen($img); $fp2=@fopen($filename, "a"); fwrite($fp2,$img); fclose($fp2);
I'm not sure what the problem is, but simplifying the code will help you track it down. Rather than messing with output buffering and fopen/fwrite/fclose, I'd suggest using the copy() function. This line replaces the 8 lines above: copy( $url, $filename ); --Rick
