curl can handle timeouts much better (file_get_contents will timeout when the server on the other end says so). it can also tell you if a 404 is returned, and handle basic authentication. file_get_contents is very simple. if i replace foo.png with a 404 page, that's what you'll get - and that's what you'll save as your image. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
