PHP has many ways to initiate a variety of connections (HTTP, FTP, raw sockets, etc.), yes.

Be careful - you've still got several (legal/moral) issues to address there, such as:
Do those sites allow automated querying/carwling (or "screen scraping") of their websites?
Is the data contained within the sites restricted by copyrights or licenses?
Are you properly following the terms of said copyrights/licenses (e.g. proper accreditation of image sources, etc.)?
