Now why do all these other scripts I've found make it look so hard??

curl can handle timeouts much better (file_get_contents will timeout when the server on the other end says so). it can also tell you if a 404 is returned, and handle basic authentication.

file_get_contents is very simple. if i replace foo.png with a 404 page, that's what you'll get - and that's what you'll save as your image.
