[RESOLVED] Download images from a site

[goaman]

Hi guys,
I wonder if there any neat way to download images from a site into "cache" directory?

TIA

[man]copy[/man]

thanks for your reply devinemke, ok.. lets say this function does the copying part, but I want to do it remotely, means.. entering the URL and it'd be nice if it can scan+copy from a remote site.

any idea how its done?

TIA

function backup($extension) {
   $counter = 0;
   foreach(glob(�*� . �$extension�) as $file) {
       if ($extension{0} != �.�) {
           $extension = �.� . $extension;
       }
       $file2 = �./backup/� . �$file�;
       $counter++;
       copy($file, $file2);
   }
   if ($counter == 0) {
       return false;
   } else {
       return true;
   }
}

/* Copy all images */

$extension_array = array(�.jpg�, �.gif�, �.png�, �.bmp�);

foreach($extension_array as $key => $value) {
   backup($extension);
}

if you want to [man]copy[/man] a remote file then must use the full absolute URL of th source file:

$copy = copy('http://www.phpbuilder.com/images/logo.gif', 'logo.gif');
if ($copy) {echo 'copy OK';} else {echo 'copy FAILED';}

tnx Devinemke,
problem is solved, using copy isn't the coolest idea, I've used simply fopen!
