saving pictures

[Anon]

hi, i want to write a script that copies pictures from the web onto a local drive, ive tried using copy (which works fine from one local drive to anouther) but it just says:

Warning: Unable to open 'http://www.computer-bookshops.com/covers/452386.JPG' for reading: Unknown error in covershots.inc on line 42

any one got any ideas?

here is my code
if (copy($cover_name, $where_to))
{
echo "<br>downloaded '$isbn' cover";

	}

	else
	{
	echo "Error copying $cover_name to $where_to<br>";
	}

cheers, will

It is possible that the site you are trying to rip the images from is checking the referer value to keep people from doing what you are doing...
