Question

I am using the twitter api to access some account details. It’s been made clear that you can easily get the twitter account image:

http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1260994338/P3030586-2_bigger.jpg

However, when i try to copy() this image in PHP to my local server it doesn’t work. It seems you can’t even ping the address as ‘could not find host’.

How can I copy the twitter account image to my local server?

Answer 1

$twitsImg ='http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1260994338/P3030586-2_bigger.jpg';

$twit=file_get_contents($twitsImg);
$new_img = basename($twitsImg);

file_put_contents($new_img,$twit);
