save images from url through php get content

Question

<?php
//Get the file
$content = 'http://dev.aviesta.com.mx/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/r/bridal-shoes1.jpg ';
//Store in the filesystem.
$fp = fopen('/var/www/ajaxForm/loading.gif', 'w'); 
fwrite($fp, $content);
fclose($fp);

Does Apache have good rights to create the file /var/www/ajaxForm/loading.gif ? — Julien Vaslet

yes the file is already created and the apache has permissions to read and write — Rohit Goel

Just taken from similar question

$url = 'http://dev.aviesta.com.mx/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/r/bridal-shoes1.jpg';
$img = 'curl/curl_image.jpg';
file_put_contents($img, file_get_contents($url));

Note : also check the directory is writable with is_writable method

file_put_contents

file_get_contents

Do you need to save that image? I don't know why you write this code, you can't open a gif image and write another into it. If you want to save that image then you can use

file_put_contents("imgfolder/imgID.jpg", $image); or copy($image_url, $your_path);
