Need help with an image url

[RotsjK]

Hi,

 

i need to process an onix file (kind of xml). This was no problem, but in this onix file the images belonging to the products are a link to a script. When i open the url in my browser, automatically the image is downloaded to my pc. 

What can i do to use this link and save this image on my webserver? I tried file_get_contents but i did not succeed...

 

This is an example of the url:

https://cbonline.boekhuis.nl/pls/cover/p_get_cover_fe?p_hash=9C099FC9E2626377495DA02FD7F802B0

 

Thanks.

I downloaded your image by this unix command:

[jazz@centos-box ~]$ wget 'https://cbonline.boekhuis.nl/pls/cover/p_get_cover_fe?p_hash=9C099FC9E2626377495DA02FD7F802B0'

You could use the shell_exec function in php to pass the URL like variable.

I don't seem to understand the shell_exec function. What is it that it's suppose to do? Pass me the direct url from the image so i can handle it? 

I tried this:

<?php

$output = shell_exec("https://cbonline.boekhuis.nl/pls/cover/p_get_cover_fe?p_hash=9C099FC9E2626377495DA02FD7F802B0");

echo $output;

?>

 

but this results in null

Example 1:

//Get the file from the remote machine
$src = file_get_contents("https://cbonline.boekhuis.nl/pls/cover/p_get_cover_fe?p_hash=9C099FC9E2626377495DA02FD7F802B0");

//Store the image 
$fp = fopen("image.jpg", "w"); 

fwrite($fp, $src); 

fclose($fp);
 
echo '<img src="image.jpg" alt="someImage" />';

Example 2:

header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");

$src = 'https://cbonline.boekhuis.nl/pls/cover/p_get_cover_fe?p_hash=9C099FC9E2626377495DA02FD7F802B0';

$output = "image.html";

shell_exec("wget -q $src -O $output");

echo file_get_contents($output);

There is a lot of options to download images from the remote machine and save it to the local one. 

 

CURL is an option also....
