How do I save an image from a particular site to a folder on my site using PHP?
And how would you resize that image?
I used it this way but it did not work: file_put_contents ($ directory, file_get_contents ($ url)); I also tried with the copy function and did not get any result ..
Your attempt with file_get_contents only works if php.ini is set this way:
allow_url_fopen=true
But if it is enabled, nor does it need file_get_contents , you can simplify with copy :
copy( $urlOrigem, $arquivoDestino );
If you do not want or can not activate allow_url_fopen , an alternative is cURL :
$curl = curl_init( $urlOrigin );
$file = fopen( $fileDestination, 'wb' );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_FILE, $file );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0 );
curl_exec( $curl );
curl_close( $curl );
fclose( $file );
In this second case, the cURL extension must be enabled.
About resizing image with PHP, we already have some answers on the site .
