A preg to find the .gif and .jpg files, and then you need to use CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER to get the .gif/.jpeg If you switch back and forth to text/binary, you'll want to get PHP from CVS, cuz there was a bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=37061 Thank [deity] the PHP Devs could take my meandering ill-formed bug report and turn it into something useful... :-^ > Anyone have a good pointer on this?

It should look something like this: <?php $cookie_file = '/path/to/php/writable/file/somwhere/cookies.txt'; //basic curl handle: $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_file); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file); //snag HTML curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com'); $html = curl_exec($curl); //Find the images: //This pattern is almost for sure wrong cuz I suck at PCRE: preg_match_all('/<img[^>]+src="([^"]+)"/iS', $html, $images); $images = $images[1]; //snag each image in turn: curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1); foreach($images as $image_url){ curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $image_url); $image = curl_exec($curl); file_put_contents("/some/path/to/where/you/want/images/$image_url", $image); } ?> This is untested code off the top of my head, but it should be pretty close. You could maybe use Tidy or something DOM-like to find the images in the URL if you were more of a purist, but I'm assuming that isn't the issue, based on your post. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
