Save an image to disk rather then display on browser

gaute

I am grabbing an attachement from a mail. The attachment is a image and I am able to fetch the image and display the image to the browser. However, I would like to save the image to the hard disk.

<?
include("database/dbconnect.php");
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
header("Content-Length: " );
$mbox = imap_open("{mail.mail.com/pop3:110}INBOX", "user", "passwd");
$check = imap_check($mbox);
$mno=$check->Nmsgs;
$str = (imap_fetchbody($mbox,$mno,"2"));
$xyz = base64_decode($str);
echo $xyz;
// I would like to have the image stored as an image/jpeg

imap_close($mbox);
?>

Thank you for your help,

Best regards

to save it, all you have to do is this:


$fp = fopen("filename.jpg", "w+");
fwrite($fp, $xyz);
fclose($fp);

what you should do is come up with a way to name the image or somehow get the attachment name via imap functions, and then this also defeats the purpose of a standalone script to show the image, now you can integrate it to another script (if you have one) that reads the mail.

Would this be better?
Forces a download dialog box I belive...


header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="$filename"');

and generate the $filename some how

Thanks! It worked like a dream. I am getting the mail from an NOKIA Remote Camera PT-6. I am now able to fetch the mail, save the image (attachment) to my server and then display the images on the browser.

Thanks again!
