Saving image from PHP URL

If you have allow_url_fopen set to true:

$url = 'http://example.com/image.php';
$img = '/my/folder/flower.gif';
file_put_contents($img, file_get_contents($url));

Else use cURL:

$ch = curl_init('http://example.com/image.php');
$fp = fopen('/my/folder/flower.gif', 'wb');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);

Use PHP's function copy():

copy('http://example.com/image.php', 'local/folder/flower.jpg');

Note: this requires allow_url_fopen

$content = file_get_contents('http://example.com/image.php');
file_put_contents('/my/folder/flower.jpg', $content);

Here you go, the example saves the remote image to image.jpg.

function save_image($inPath,$outPath)
{ //Download images from remote server
    $in=    fopen($inPath, "rb");
    $out=   fopen($outPath, "wb");
    while ($chunk = fread($in,8192))
    {
        fwrite($out, $chunk, 8192);
    }
    fclose($in);
    fclose($out);
}

save_image('http://www.someimagesite.com/img.jpg','image.jpg');
