want to grab image from another site and resize

[beckstei]

I want to grab an image from another site and resize it to
fit the space on my site. I can't get ftp access to the other site.

I've a little script that can display the image from the other site on
my site by parsing the html of the other site and grabbing
the image name, but getimagesize($image) won't work on the image. I get the error,

Unable to open http://path.to.other.site.com/image.jpg in stealimage.php on line 56

So what I need to do is to grab the actual image, save it on my
server, then resize and redisplay it on my site.

I have no idea how to go about this.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

i recommand if image size is not working from another site then first save image in your local hard drive and then apply image size function and get the values then save it
