[SOLVED] Get Image from URL

[gingle]

Hi, I'm trying to download an image from a safe url. Im using a

service caller snapcasa which creates thumbnails from an url. I'd like

to download this image but as you can see on this url, there isnt a

jpeg extenson.

 

How can I do it with php

 

example: http://snapcasa.com/get.aspx?code=4824&size=l&url=www.google.ca

do you always know it will be a JPG?

 

<?php
  $url = 'http://snapcasa.com/get.aspx?code=4824&size=l&url=www.google.ca';
  copy($url,'images/new.jpg');
?>
<img src="images/new.jpg" />

Alternatively, if you can't guarantee that the image will be a JPEG, you can try:

 

// get the contents of the image
$imageData = file_get_contents('http://snapcasa.com/get.aspx?code=4824&size=l&url=www.google.ca');

// create the image resource
$imageResource = imagecreatefromstring($imageData);

// save the image to disk
imagejpeg($imageResource,'image.jpg');

you can also get the content type from getimagesize() then determine the proper extension from that
