Dynamic Image Saving

[cesarcesar]

I have a page thats sole function is to generate a dynamic image. When the image is loaded on screen, the only code within the source code body is <img alt="my alt tag" src="http://www.my-site.com/get.php?image_id=1" /> When i right click on the image and try a "save as.." the suggested file name is *get.php.jpg*. So good so far.

 

What i want to do is load this page in the buffer or cache, then rename and save the generated image to a designated folder on my server, instead of displaying it. Once i save the image, i will just header() to another page for display. Is there a way to do what i describe?

Try looking into imagejpeg() with a second parameter.

you'll not be able to use the header redirect after output has been sent to the browser. Your best bet is to do something like use an include to copy the file and then if you're worried about people saving the image, watermark it like http://www.nextdaygraphics.com.
