How would I go about downloading an image to a directory.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I’m trying to figure out how I would go about directly downloading an image with php and having it saved in a directory on the server.

I know that I can retrieve the url for the image with cURL but can the image itself be retrieved with cURL. What would be the easiest route to download an image directly to the server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[code=php]$image_url = "http://127.0.0.1/image.jpg";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $image_url);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
file_put_contents("downloaded_image.jpg",$result);[/code]
