Below is the code that was used for getting image from a remote location and saving that image to current folder.This code can be modified easily to achive something different.




<?php
/**
* @desc file: This source was used for copying images from another server to our own server and can be modified according to requirements.
*/
//***********************URL of image which you need**************
$img_url='http://www.inderweb.com/inderweb/userpictures/picture-1.jpg';
$ext_arr=explode("/",$img_url);
$cnt=count($ext_arr);                             


//***********************name of new image you want to keep*************
$img_name=$ext_arr[($cnt-1)];                     
copyFile($img_url,$img_name);//Call the CURL function for getting image


/**
* @desc This function uses curl for coping a remote image file from another server to its own directory.
*/
function copyFile($img_url,$img_name)
{
    $crl_ptr= curl_init( $img_url );
    $file_ptr=fopen($img_name,'w');
    
    curl_setopt( $crl_ptr, CURLOPT_FILE, $file_ptr );
    curl_setopt( $crl_ptr, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0 );
    curl_exec  ( $crl_ptr );
    
    $curl_info = curl_getInfo( $crl_ptr );
    curl_close($crl_ptr );
    fclose($file_ptr);    
    
    echo '<h2>Details of file transfer are as below:</h2><br><pre>';
    print_r($curl_info);
    echo '</pre>';
}
