Hey all

I'm in need of some help, I'm very new with PHP but bear with me.

I'm lookign to do something like this with a block:

Grab the latest image file added to a website, put that image in a block and have the image linked to the image's original website.

How would I go about doing this?

Any help or references would be greatly appreciated.

Some questions - do you actually want to get that image from the other web sites and store it locally, on yours? (as if you'd gone onto their site, saved the picture off and then uploaded it to yours). Or do you just want to display it with a link back to them?

Whatever is most conventional/easiest - I plan on it being a smaller, resized image on the side of my webpage.
