Dynamic Image Saving

[cesarcesar]

I have a page thats sole function is to generate a dynamic image. When the image is loaded on screen, the only code within the source code body is

<img alt="my alt tag" src="http://www.my-site.com/get.php?image_id=1" />

When i right click on the image and try a "save as.." the suggested file name is get.php.jpg. So good so far.

What i want to do is load this page in the buffer or cache, then rename and save the generated image to a designated folder on my server, instead of displaying it. Once i save the image, i will just header() to another page for display. Is there a way to do what i describe?

I think what you need is this function:

bool imagejpeg ( resource image [, string filename [, int quality]] )

besides, imagepng(),imagegif(),can create a picture of other types.
