you can if the ini setting 'allow_url_fopen' is set to true (you hosting
provider
may not allow it - in which case the cURL exntension or the 'wget' trick
mentioned
by others are alternative solutions).
I would recommend using file_get_contents() if you have it (depends on you
php version) iso file().

You might want to look at CURL, too.

Re: [PHP] Download image in PHP
Hi,
If all you want to do is this as a suggestion (altough not php
related) you could call wget from your php script to fetch this image
without having to worry with other things.
Something like this
exec ('/path/to/wget http://www.foo.com/bar.jpg');
Of course you'd have to check if everything went fine.

[PHP] Download image in PHP
I have an image library on one site that I want to be able to access from
another, but I actually want the image downloaded and cached to the new site
(so that it doesnt keep taxing the image server).
I allow the file() command to pull from other sites, can I do this with just
the file('http://www.site.com/image.jpg";); - or how would i do this?
