how to save facebook profile picture using php graph Api - php

Question

i am using this curl class for saving the file -->
class CurlHelper
{
/**
* Downloads a file from a url and returns the temporary file path.
* #param string $url
* #return string The file path
*/
public static function downloadFile($url, $options = array())
{
if (!is_array($options))
$options = array();
$options = array_merge(array(
'connectionTimeout' => 5, // seconds
'timeout' => 10, // seconds
'sslVerifyPeer' => false,
'followLocation' => false, // if true, limit recursive redirection by
'maxRedirs' => 1, // setting value for "maxRedirs"
), $options);
// create a temporary file (we are assuming that we can write to the system's temporary directory)
$tempFileName = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), '');
$fh = fopen($tempFileName, 'w');
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FILE, $fh);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $options['connectionTimeout']);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $options['timeout']);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, $options['sslVerifyPeer']);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, $options['followLocation']);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, $options['maxRedirs']);
curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
fclose($fh);
return $tempFileName;
}
}
$url = 'http://graph.facebook.com/shashankvaishnav/picture';
$sourceFilePath = CurlHelper::downloadFile($url, array(
'followLocation' => true,
'maxRedirs' => 5,
));
this above code will give me the temporary url in $sourceFilePath variable now i want to store that image in my image folder. I am stuck here...please help me in this...thank you in advance.

Answer 1

There is a pretty easy option for this:
$url = 'http://graph.facebook.com/shashankvaishnav/picture';
$data = file_get_contents($url);
$fileName = 'fb_profilepic.jpg';
$file = fopen($fileName, 'w+');
fputs($file, $data);
fclose($file);
You don´t even need anything else then.
Or if file_get_contents is disabled (usually it isn´t), this should also work:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://graph.facebook.com/shashankvaishnav/picture');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$fileName = 'fb_profilepic.jpg';
$file = fopen($fileName, 'w+');
fputs($file, $data);
fclose($file);
Edit: This is not possible anymore, since you can´t use the username for API calls anymore. You have to use an (App Scoped) ID after authorizing a User with the Facebook API instead of the username.

Answer 2

$filename = 'abcd.jpg';
$to = 'image/'.$filename;
if(copy($sourceFilePath,$to))
echo 'copied';
else
echo 'error';

Answer 3

$profile_Image = 'http://graph.facebook.com/shashankvaishnav/picture';
$userImage = $picturtmp_name . '.jpg'; // insert $userImage in db table field.
$savepath = '/images/';
insert_user_picture($savepath, $profile_Image, $userImage);
function insert_user_picture($path, $profile_Image, $userImage) {
$thumb_image = file_get_contents($profile_Image);
$thumb_file = $path . $userImage;
file_put_contents($thumb_file, $thumb_image);
}

Answer 4

$fbprofileimage = file_get_contents('http://graph.facebook.com/senthilbp/picture/');
file_put_contents('senthilbp.gif', $fbprofileimage);
