title: Save image from url with curl PHP
body: <p>I need to save an image from a url using CURL and save it to a folder on my server.  I've been battling with this code to no avail.  Ideally I'd like to grab the image and save it as "photo1" or something.  Help!  </p>
  
  <pre><code>    function GetImageFromUrl($link)
  
      {
  
      $ch = curl_init();
  
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
  
      curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$link);
  
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  
      $result=curl_exec($ch);
  
      curl_close($ch);
  
      return $result;
  
      }
  
      $sourcecode = GetImageFromUrl($iticon);
  
      $savefile = fopen(' /img/uploads/' . $iconfilename, 'w');
      fwrite($savefile, $sourcecode);
      fclose($savefile);
  </code></pre>
