If your PHP setup is configured to allow remote files, this should work for you:

<?php
$i = file_get_contents('http://...../image.jpg');
$f = fopen('path/my.jpg','w+');
fwrite($f,$i);
fclose($f);
?>

I need to create a simple image downloading script where you insert the image URL and it will download or add it and place it on the server or in the database, Any one have any bright ideas on how i can do this?

eg:

The image of 39dollarglasses.com (http://www.39dollarglasses.com/store/images/thumb/2164_Brown.jpg), in which i will insert it to my website using php script.. i really appreciate your help.. thanks in advance..

$i = file_get_contents($_GET['url']);

Then just make a form with a field "url" and that will be the url used in the script, or you could link to it like "thatpage.php?url=http://whatever".

You may want to use error checking, with
if (file_exists($_GET['url'])) first
etc.

As for adding to a database, etc., look here:
