copy an image

[Anon]

Hello everybody

I must copy a lot of image from a partner's server so I want to make a script with can copy the images to my server.

But I don't manage to do this.

I made this script but It returns a bad image format :-(
$image=file("http://www.cgrcinemas.fr/ImagesCinefil/AffichePetitFormat/$ref.jpeg");
$local="Images/Affiches/$ref.jpeg";
$fp=fopen($local, "w+");
fwrite($fp, join("",$image));
fclose($fp);

Thank you
Excuse me for my english I'm french

I could not get it to work either.

I've not done much with remote files, but here's a stab at it:

<?php
$fin = fopen( 'http://www.cgrcinemas.fr/ImagesCinefil/AffichePetitFormat/$ref.jpeg', 'r' );
$image = fread( $fin, 1024000);

$fout = fopen( 'testimage.gif', 'w+' );
fwrite( $fout, $image );
fclose( $fout );
?>

fread() is a binary safe file reading function. You must specify a limit to read, in this case I used 1MB (1024000 bytes). There is probably a more elegant way of determining the remote file size. I tried filesize(), but it wouldn't do it.

Hope this helps!
