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! 

    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);

If you want to download an image from https:

$output_filename = 'output.png';
$host = "https://.../source.png"; // <-- Source image url (FIX THIS)
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $host);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); // <-- don't forget this
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); // <-- and this
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$fp = fopen($output_filename, 'wb');
fwrite($fp, $result);
fclose($fp);
