Saving image from PHP URL I need to save an image from a PHP URL to my PC. Let's say I have a page, http://example.com/image.php, holding a single "flower" image, nothing else. How can I save this image from the URL with a new name (using PHP)? Answer: If you have allow_url_fopen set to true: $url = 'http://example.com/image.php'; $img = '/my/folder/flower.gif'; file_put_contents($img, file_get_contents($url)); Else use cURL: $ch = curl_init('http://example.com/image.php'); $fp = fopen('/my/folder/flower.gif', 'wb'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); fclose($fp); source

PHP file_get_contents() returns “failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!” Problem : I am having problems calling a url from PHP code. I need to call a service using a query string from my PHP code. If I type the url into a browser, it works ok, but if I use file-get-contents() to make the call, I get: Warning: file-get-contents(http://.... ) failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted in ... The code I am using is: $query=file_get_contents('http://###.##.##.##/mp/get?mpsrc=http://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/11111.mpg&mpaction=convert format=flv'); echo($query); Like
