Re: FOPEN For Getting Images From Another Site

In answer ot my question "How do I load an image from another site and save it onto mine", Matthew Leverton wrote: >It should be possible, but the reason it doesn't work for you is because the >"filesize" doesn't work on URLs. Try this: > >$fcontents = join( '', file( >'http://www.php.net' ) ); > It worked with text files, but didn't work with images. I also tried using your fread example without the script working at all. This is the best I've been able to do: <? $filename = "http://www.theirsite.com/auctions/acdc.jpg"; $fp = fopen("$filename", "rb"); $fcontents = fread($fp, 5000000); $fp2 = fopen ("/home/mysite/www/public/test.jpg", "wb", strlen($fcontents)); fwrite ($fp2, $fcontents); print "<img src=\"http://www.mysite.com/public/test.jpg\">"; fclose($fp); fclose($fp2); ?> The above routine copies the .jpg from their site and saves it in my public directory. They have both have the smae filesize, and when I look at both files in NOTEPAD, all the goofy characters match up perfectly (as far as I can tell). That would seem to indicate that it worked, but when i try to call up the image, it comes up invalid. I've also tried looking at it in a graphics program without any sucess. BTW, I've tried the $fp2 = fopen line both with and without the strlen($fcontents) parameter and the filesize comes out identical either way. Help, Jeff
