Re: Can PHP be used to snatch images cross-domain?

Brilliant!

Now why do all these other scripts I've found make it look so hard??

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL

Take a look at the last script on that site.  I suppose it's because of all the error-handling.  That last "downloader class" looks promising, through I'm not sure how to pass an URL into it to get and save to a special directory on my server.  I like your example better.

For example, could I provide an URL to an image on another server and a path on my own server in which to place it?  I know in the world of Ajax, I could run into cross-domain security issues, but I'm wondering if I can get around that with PHP.
