Yes, this can be done quite easily.
<?php
$content = file_get_contents( 'http://www.foo.com/images/foo.png' );
file_put_contents( '/tmp/foo.png', $content );
?>
You will need fopen wrappers enabled for this to work. Either way, there
are other ways to skin the cat if fopen wrappers cannot be enabled.
