If you want to snag an image from another server, just do this: <?php $source = fopen("http://someserver.com/image.jpg", 'r') or die("Could not read remote image."); $destination = fopen("/path/to/writable/dir/image.jpg", 'w') or die("could not open local file"); while (!feof($source)){ $data = fread($source, 1000000); fwrite($destination, $data); } ?> Then to scale it, you could get ImageMagic (aka "convert") on your server, and do: exec("/path/to/convert -scale .5 image.jpg > image2.jpg", $output, $error); while (list(,$line) = each($output)){ echo $output, "<BR>\n"; } if ($error){ echo "OS Error $error: Usually path/permissions problem.<BR>\n"; exit; } -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
