Download Image URL - PHP - php

Question

I'm trying to create a script to download images to a local server and I'm having some issues with the images downloading. I have tested the following script on a standard image (http://www.urmob.co.uk/i/l/2860.jpg) and its working fine, however, when trying to download an image from the following location
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mobile-phones-direct/phone/portraitimage/full/52122ad8-c918-450d-be10-5921c0a870cb.png
It has no file contents and therefore the image doesn't work. I believe it has something to do with the HTTPS? I originally tried the standard file_get_contents but that didn't work, now I'm trying a CURL version and it is still not working. The function I'm using looks like the below:
function grab_image($url,$saveto){
$ch = curl_init ($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER,1);
$raw=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
if(file_exists($saveto)){
unlink($saveto);
}
$fp = fopen($saveto,'x');
fwrite($fp, $raw);
fclose($fp);
}
Does anyone know why this isn't working?
Thanks,
Craig

Answer 1

This is very simple:
test.php
<?php
// image source
$image_url = 'https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mobile-phones-direct/phone/portraitimage/full/52122ad8-c918-450d-be10-5921c0a870cb.png';
// download image
file_put_contents('downloaded_image.jpg', file_get_contents($image_url));
// display
echo '<img src="downloaded_image.jpg" >';
It works for me:
If you want to keep using the curl version and fix that ssl error, add this to your code:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

Answer 2

you are getting image from ssl url trying to remove https and use http
or try by adding :-
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
