simple:

Code:

<?php
$content = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/image.png');
file_put_contents('image.png', $content);
?>

this code will download the image from the given url and will save it locally on the server as image.png

Look here: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_get.asp or search "query strings" in PHP.

Code:

<?php
$image = $_REQUEST['image'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$content = file_get_contents("$image");
file_put_contents("./images/$name.jpg", $content);
?>

Code:

You also might want to look at the PHP manual for the command "CURL". Supposedly if you set it up right it can retrieve images even if they are blocked on the other server by a htaccess redirect. Saves you from getting a bunch of those "don't steal my bandwidth" logos.
