Upload file from a URL

[treeleaf20]

All,
Is it possible to do a file upload from another site? So for something quick like this:

$source = $_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'];      

$target = $path_to_image_directory . $filename;           

move_uploaded_file($source, $target);  

Is there anyway to make the $source something like:

$source = "http://www.site.com/pictures?id=12345";      

$target = $path_to_image_directory . $filename;           

move_uploaded_file($source, $target);  

Any ideas?

Thanks!

$source = file_get_contents("http://www.site.com/pictures?id=12345");      

$target = $path_to_image_directory . $filename;           

move_uploaded_file($source, $target);

perhaps?

Using [man]copy/man might be easier.
