I have an image library on one site that I want to be able to access from

(so that it doesnt keep taxing the image server).

I allow the file() command to pull from other sites, can I do this with just
the file('http://www.site.com/image.jpg";); - or how would i do this?

you can if the ini setting 'allow_url_fopen' is set to true (you hosting provider
may not allow it - in which case the cURL exntension or the 'wget' trick mentioned
by others are alternative solutions).

I would recommend using file_get_contents() if you have it (depends on you
php version) iso file().
