Re: cURL functions

[Chris Bruce <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did look at your post on PATH_INFO which did not get me any closer to  
the solution. At this point, I am just trying to get an image using  
cURL and then force it to download to the computer. Here is the link:

http://205.207.224.90/getimage.php

and here is the code:
header("Content-type: image/jpg");
Header('Content-Disposition: attachment;  
file="tigershippingdashboard20050429.jpg"');
$ch = curl_init(); // create cURL handle (ch)
if (!$ch) {
  die("Couldn't initialize a cURL handle");
 }
// set some cURL options
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,  
"http://images.apple.com/home/2005/images/ 
tigershippingdashboard20050429.jpg");
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);

// execute
$ret = curl_exec($ch);

if (empty($ret)) {
	// some kind of an error happened
	die(curl_error($ch));
	curl_close($ch); // close cURL handler
}
else {
	$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
	curl_close($ch); // close cURL handler

	if (empty($info['http_code'])) {
    	die("No HTTP code was returned");
	}
	else {
    	// load the HTTP codes
		// echo results
		echo "The server responded: <br />";
		print "<pre>";
		print_r($info);
		print "</pre>";
	  }
 }

I have tried changing the values of the curl options to no avail. What  
ends up happening is the the PHP file is what gets downloaded with all  
the binary data for the image in it. I need to find a way of getting  
just the image to download.

In this example, I just want the image  
tigershippingdashboard20050429.jpg to download.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Chris
