OK, i want to write some code to take an image path and download the file and save it under a filename from a var i set and then allows me to store the full new filename (so including whatever the extension is) so it can be called from my own server.

In other-words, its something to allow me to use images from other sites, but without hot-linking and using their bandwidth. I would rather host locally and then link to them.

Any ideas?

Well you can probably just use file_get_contents("http://xyz.com/xyz.jpg";); and then use the fwrite to add it to your server.

Ended up using:
Code:

$new = 'test.jpg';
$old = "http://www.testimage.com/yey.jpg";;
$temp = file_get_contents($old);
$handle = fopen($new, "x");
fwrite($handle, $temp);
fclose($handle);

Interesting... I may have to use this code. Anybody know how to make it so that a user can upload images directly from their computer onto the web site using PHP? I'm guessing it's probably similar to the above code... so any help would be appreciated.
