save img

[AV1611]

If I have url for image like:

<img scr=123.png
or
<or a href=123.png

how can I save the file to disk automatically?

Your gonna want to rephrase that.
Don't quite understand.

Simple. I want to automatically save to disk .png from a remote script.

I can access the .png via <a href=file.png... or <img scr=file.png...

You can't, well you can, that is how you get spyware on your computer I believe. But why would you like to force a file onto the user's disk ???

[AV1611]

I don't want to force it on the users disk, I want to download it to my disk with the script!

copy the code a name the file like download.php

add a link to a page to force download the file
a href="download.php">download file</a

<?php

file="123.jpg";


$file = $_REQUEST['file'];

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));

header( "Content-Description: File Transfer");
@readfile($file);

?>

Will this still give me the prompt to download?  I am hoping to do this without manual intervention... there is a library of 50 images I need to d/l every day...

have a look at [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,99889.msg393691.html#msg393691]this post[/url]
you can use those two functions.

suppose your image was at http://www.example.org/image.png and you wanted to save it to /var/www/myImage.png, you would use those two functions like this:
[code=php:0]
$data = getData('http://www.example.org/image.png');
$result = writeData($data, '/var/www/myImage.png');
if($result !== false)
{
    echo 'Image was written';
}
else
{
    echo 'Image could not be written';
}
[/code]
