Re: Download image in PHP

I have an image library on one site that I want to be able to access from another, but I actually want the image downloaded and cached to the new site (so that it doesnt keep taxing the image server). I allow the file() command to pull from other sites, can I do this with just the file('http://www.site.com/image.jpg"); - or how would i do this?

you can if the ini setting 'allow_url_fopen' is set to true (you hosting provider may not allow it - in which case the cURL exntension or the 'wget' trick mentioned by others are alternative solutions). I would recommend using file_get_contents() if you have it (depends on you php version) iso file().
