copying images into database

[Blue Cat Buxton]

Im a little stuck.

I am trying to implement a sore from a data feed. That is ok, but the company does not want the product images linked directly from their site (as you can do with Amazon).

I have the url's for the images though (in a database) and they don't mind me copying the images and linking to them from my site.

Is there an easy way with PHP to copy an image at a url onto my site?

Thanks

I think that's what you need (not sure though)

You could print out the images as links to an html file then run wget (a linux program) on the file. It would fetch all the images.
