problem, please help!

[Anon]

I am running a webcam program called ivista. It acts as a erver and creates thumbnail images. If i enter the http code blow i will get a thumbnail image 180x120. I am trying to open this rename it and save it to my server. Does anyone have any idea of how to do it? I am connecting with the program cause i can see it is but i cant write the image file or even view the file? Please, any advice would be really helpfull. I have read the manual and i have tried lots of different variations with limited or no success. Thanks in advance.

<?
$fd = @fopen("http://ip_address/cgi/nph-jpeg.exe?-aw+160+-ah+120+-single+-device+9+-video+0","rw");

if ($fd)
{ either display the image or better rename it and save it to my server!}

else
{ Display error message}

?>

Again thanks.

You're nearly there already.
$fp = fopen('http://yoururlhere, 'r');
$sLine = '';
while (!feof($fp))
{
$sLine.=fread($fp, 1024);
};

now $sLine contains the entire image.

You can use fopen('/path/to/file','w') to save it to a local file.

You don't have to 'rename' the file, because there is no filename for a file you receive using this method. You can just enter a new name and save it.

Use the force luke: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

$handle = fopen ($WebFile, "r");
$outhandle=fopen ($LocalFile,"w");
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer=fread($handle,4096);
fputs($outhandle,$buffer);
}
fclose($handle);
fclose($outhandle);
