Downloadnig images from remote server

[Anon]

Hello! My problem is: I must upload pictures to my server from another one. I tried to use copy() function for it, but looks like it does not work for this case. Could you please help me with this problem? What I do now is:

copy("http://www.another_server.com/img.jpg", "my_file_name.jpg");

Error which I get is: 'Unable to open file "http://www.another_server.com/img.jpg" for reading: no such file...' System looks for a file in my server file system. How can I copy file from another server?

Hi,

read the examples on:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php

This will show you how to copy remote files..

Good luck

Thank you for the link. I've found there an example - when you read source file line by line and write destination file line by line. I will try it, of course, but will this work for images? If I just had to deal with text files, I would have done it this way with no problems...
