Morning all,

Theres a few questions around this but none that really answer my question, as far as I ca understand. Basically I have a GD script that deals with resizing and caching images on our server, but I need to do the same with images stored on a remote server.

So, I'm wanting to save the image locally, then resize and display it as normal.

I've got this far...

        $file_name_array = explode('/', $filename);
        $file_name_array_r = array_reverse($file_name_array);  

        $save_to = 'system/cache/remote/'.$file_name_array_r[1].'-'.$file_name_array_r[0];

        $ch = curl_init($filename);
        $fp = fopen($save_to, "wb");

        // set URL and other appropriate options
        $options = array(CURLOPT_FILE => $fp,
                         CURLOPT_HEADER => 0,
                         CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => 1,
                         CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 60); // 1 minute timeout (should be enough)

        curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);

        curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        fclose($fp);

This creates the image file, but does not copy it accross? Am I missing the point?

Cheers guys.
