If you use stream context, you can set timeout to file_get_contents() as well. -- toby http://toby.cz/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Now why do all these other scripts I've found make it look so hard?? http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL curl can handle timeouts much better (file_get_contents will timeout when the server on the other end says so). it can also tell you if a 404 is returned, and handle basic authentication. file_get_contents is very simple. if i replace foo.png with a 404 page, that's what you'll get - and that's what you'll save as your image. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] 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.

[PHP] Can PHP be used to snatch images cross-domain?
If I have a php script on my own server, can it be used to snatch a JPEG image off of another server on a different domain and upload it to my server? 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. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
