I Need To Download Image From Web To Server Using Php

Hi,

Basicly what I need says in the title: I NEED TO DOWNLOAD IMAGE FROM WEB TO SERVER USING PHP, is that possible ? if yes, does anyone has simple example of the code which can do that ?

 

SEARCH PHP.NET FOR FOPEN AND FGET. You will find sample code there.

 

use copy()

 

I check it out those , but I cant find any samples over there that would download image and save it to disk, just some examples of getting .html documents

 

Something like this should work.

<?php
$filelocation = "http://www.site.com/folder/image.gif";
$foldertosave = "./images/";

$open = fopen($filelocation, "rb");
$contents = stream_get_contents($open);
fclose($open);
$save = fopen(array_pop(split("/", $filelocation)), "a");
fwrite($save,$contents);
fclose($save);
?>

PHP:

You'll probably want to do some verification to make sure that the file being uploaded is in fact an image. The best way I can think of doing that is to open the image using the GD library and if it returns an error, the file is not an image.

 

Thank Jim, Its working

 

So? It's all a file, nothing else.

 

I would recommend cURL using the CURLOPT_INFILE option.

 

nice one guys, i've been looking for something like this as well...thanks

 

<?php

$filename=$_REQUEST['filename'];
$filename = realpath($filename);

$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));

/****Set Header Content Type based on File Extension****/
switch ($file_extension) {
case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
case "jpe":
case "jpeg":
case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
default: $ctype="application/force-download";
}
if (!file_exists($filename)) {
die("NO FILE HERE");
}

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
header("Content-Type: $ctype");
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($filename)."\";");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
set_time_limit(0);
@readfile("$filename") or die("File not found.");

?>

 

Thank You for Your Post, I already found one and its working fine.
