save image from php url using php
How can i use php to save/grab an image from another domain(not on my domain/server) and save it in a directory of my site.
The URL of the image for example , will be :
http://anothersite/images/goods.jpg
How can i use PHP to grab "good.jpg" ,and save it in my directory which is www.mysite.com/directory/
I hope someone could guide me. Thanks!
You should be able to use file_get_contents for this one. In order to use an URL with file_get_contents make sure allow_url_fopen is enabled in you php.ini file.
define('DIRECTORY', '/home/user/uploads');
$content = file_get_contents('http://anothersite/images/goods.jpg');
file_put_contents(DIRECTORY . '/image.jpg', $content);
Make sure that you have write permission to the directory where you want to store the image; to make the folder writable you could do this:
chmod +w /home/users/uploads

to me the following code should serve ur need:
$url = "http://other-site/image.png";
$dir = "/my/local/dir/";
$lfile = fopen($dir . basename($url), "w");
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $lfile);
fclose($lfile);
curl_close($ch);
