use the fopen function to save the image to your local site, ex:

$fp = fopen("http://site.com/image.gif";, "r");
$buffer = "";
while (!feof ($fp)) {
    $buffer .= fgets($fp, 4096);
}
fclose($fp);

$fp = fopen("/local/file.gif", "wb");
fwrite($fp, $buffer);
fclose($fp);

untested but it should work (TM).
