Aureole Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I am trying to show an image on my website from another website but I don't want to "hot-link". What I'd like to do is using php get the image in binary (or something) not the actual image but the code behind it then have the script create a new file with the correct headers and the code for the image. If that makes any sense whatsoever. So basically I want to get a remote image, then have it copied to my server. Is something like this even remotely possible?

themistral Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I don't know about the technicalities, but I don't agree with you being able to do this anyway. The website you want to copy the image from may be paying to use the image - why should you get it for free if that is the case? I would email the website if you really want to use the image - if they have no problem they will let you have the image or could tell you how to obtain a licence. How would you feel if someone 'stole' you images for free use on their own website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureole Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 The images are screenshots which people upload from an online game to share with each other... so it's not really stealing. I am going to obtain permission. Anyway I worked this out using GD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themistral Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Sorry - just read my post back and it's a bit preachy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
