[SOLVED] Copy images from another website?

[bpops]

I would like to have a form such as this:

 

Image URL:  [________________________]  [_Submit_]

 

that when clicked, takes the image from (any) url and saves a copy in a specified directory.

 

I have found many tutorials on UPLOADING images, but I can't find information on how to grab one from a URL. Can anyone quickly point me to a function or tutorial? Thanks in advance for your help!

Well I think I finally figured out one way of doing it. It works perfectly, and it's very little code:

 

Given the url ($url) and desired filename ($filename):

 

$im = @imagecreatefromjpeg($url);
      
if($im){
        
   imagejpeg($im, $filename);

}

 

There might be a better way of doing it, but I'm happy with this. If anyone else has any comments, feel free to ad them, but I'll go ahead and mark this solved.
