I don't fully understand your question. You want to get an image from a url, you will need to open the url and fetch the HTML then use regular expressions to find the image you want. Peace,
I am working on a php site, my first and have some problems. 1. creating individual page for each item 2. showing image from url 3. creating link for purchase with my aff link 4. i want to mask the link if I can to avoid any posible search engine trouble and from hijacking here is my basic code: <?php //Connect to the mysql server and get back our link_identifier $link = mysql_connect("", "", "") or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); //Now we select which database we would like to use mysql_select_db("") or die('could not select database'); include ('header'); //Our SQL Query $sql_query = "Select Name, Description, Price, LinkURL, ImageURL, Category FROM example ORDER BY Category"; //Run our sql query $result = mysql_query($sql_query)or die('query failed'. mysql_error()); echo '<table border=0 bgcolor=#E6E6E6 align=left width="50" border="0" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0> <tr><td align="left"<b>Category</b> <td align="left"><b>Name</b></td> <td align="left"<b>Description</b></td> <td align="left"<b>Price</b></td> <td align="left"<b>Buy</b></td> <td align="left"<b>Image</b> </td></tr> '; //iterate through result while($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { echo '<tr><td align= "left">' . $row['Category'] .'</td><td align="left">' . $row['Name'] , '</td><td align= "left">' . $row['Description'] .'</td><td align= "left">' . $row['Price'] .'</td><td align= "left">' . $row['LinkURL'] .'</td><td align= "left">' . $row['ImageURL'] .'</td> </tr> '; } echo '</table>'; // Free resultset (optional) mysql_free_result($result); //Close the MySQL Link mysql_close($link); include ('footer'); ?> I also have a left column for categories etc.
