Thanks alot, use the fopen function to save the image to your local site, ex: $fp = fopen("http://site.com/image.gif", "r"); $buffer = ""; while (!feof ($fp)) { $buffer .= fgets($fp, 4096); } fclose($fp); $fp = fopen("/local/file.gif", "wb"); fwrite($fp, $buffer); fclose($fp); untested but it should work (TM). -- Henrik Hansen
