Is it legal?

If you tend to use this legally, here you go.

Code: Select all

<?php

// *** Image to retrieve.
$image 		= 'http://www.example.com/images77.gif';
$new_file_name 	= 'image.gif';

// *** Retrieve image contents.
$src = file_get_contents($image);

##### Create new file #####################################
$Fconn = fopen($new_file_name, 'w');
fwrite($Fconn, $src);
fclose($Fconn);
###########################################################

?>
