    Is it possible for PHP to grab images off another webpage and give me back the direct link to them?

    Or maybe someone has a sample code they could direct me to.

    Thanks

    Yes,

    Use CURL to process pages
    then use DOM to get all elements with tag names as img then get the attribute value of src for the img tags
    then prefix the domain name you have to passed to curl to get the direct link
    remember there may be absolute links to images or there may also be external image links
    so always check for that before prefixing

    Well I've done some research and I noticed the images are hidden in the source via AJAX, is there any way around this?
