fopen

[Anon]

I am opening an image from a webcam program like so:-

<?

$fd = fopen("http://ip_address/cgi/nph-jpeg.exe?-aw+192+-ah+144+-single+-device+0+-video+0/", "r+") or die ("bollox");

?>

It is connecting to iti think because the program tells me a person is on. I want to be able to display it, rename it and save it on my server. I have asked a similar question before and all i got was try fopen? I have tried everthing!!!

Please help

<?
if ($fp=fopen($QUERY_STRING,"r"))
{
while(!feof($fp)) $data.=fread($fp,4096);
fclose($fp);
if ($fp=fopen("./test/image.jpg","w"))
{
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);
}
}
?>

and as query_string insert some url of picture... the 'test' directory must be writable for httpd daemon

I have tried it using the code below:-

<?
if ($fp=fopen("http://ip address/cgi/nph-jpeg.exe?-aw+192+-ah+144+-single+-device+0+-video+0/","r"))
{
while(!feof($fp)) $data.=fread($fp,4096);
fclose($fp);
if ($fp=fopen("/pics/image.jpg","w"))
{
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);
}
}
?>

and i got this error message :-

Warning: fopen("/pics/image.jpg","w") - No such file or directory in /usr/users1/hungry/public_html/image3.php3 on line 6

? What am i doing wrong? I have set permissions correctly.

Thanks

don't you forget leading dot? "./pics/" ???

if you use leasing slash, it'll search pics directory in root of your fs!
