save .png to disk

[AV1611]

I can't figure out how to do this...

1.  I have a script on a remote server that creates .png files dynamically.
2.  I know the name and url to the file
3.  I need to grab that .png and save it on my local server with a php script.

I tried file_get_contents, fopen, etc, but can't make a working script that will retrieve a .png from url and save to local disk...

Please help...

does this work, not able to test

[code]
<?php
$im = imagecreatefrompng($theurl);
imagepng ($im, 'mypic.png');
imagedestroy($im);
?>[/code]

Barand, I don't see how that will save the file to disk?

<?php
$file = 'file.png';

    header("Content-type: image/force-download");
    header("Content-Disposition:  attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
    header("Pragma: public");
    header("Cache-control: private");
    header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n");
    header("Content-length: ".(string)(filesize($file)));
    header("Expires: 0");
    header("Pragma: no-cache");

//Change filename
readfile($file);
?>

still won't do it...

The file is on a remote server, the destination is on a local server...

I've read the link, and know the answer is there somewhere, but I can't find it...

Can someone help?

I need the php script on the local server to save to disk the .png that is generated by the script on the remote server...

If I understand your question correctly...

[code]<?php
$strSource = "http://myremoteserver.com/images/mypng.png";
$strDest = "./images/mypng.png";

if(copy($strSource, $strDest))
{
echo "Copied file!";
}else{
echo "Failed to copy file";
}
?>[/code]


[quote]Note:  As of PHP 4.3.0, both source and dest may be URLs if the "fopen wrappers" have been enabled. See fopen() for more details. If dest is a URL, the copy operation may fail if the wrapper does not support overwriting of existing files.[/quote]


hth, Zac.
