Hello Everyone,
I am currently playing with flickr, php and a flash component called 3DWall. Unfortunatly due to cross-domain security on the flash players, i cannot access/load images directly from flickr. I currently have a version up and running but the loading is very slow and would like some tips on php proxies.

Proxy:
<?php
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
$dataURL = $_GET["flickr_url"];
readfile($dataURL);
?>
I am currently looking around and trying to read up to see how I can improve my script. Any suggestions? I saw someone use curl_init, is that a better function to go with instead of a simple readfile?
