hi can anyone point me in the right direction as to how i can code the following in php

1. open a text file... scan and look for a link/string that starts with the following "<http://images.domain.com//myImages/" (random characters in between) and ends with an ">" so basically find

"<http://images.domain.com//myImages/qwerty.jpg?223423&ID=userJoE>" and
strip it down to "http://images.domain.com//myImages/qwerty.jpg?223423&ID=userJoE"

then download that image to a folder. I can do this with no problem using VC.net or VB.net but does anyone have an idea as to how it's done in php?

i probably can figure out the parsing part but the image download not sure how to do that. but any help will be greatful.

$handle = fopen("/tmp/inputfile.txt", "r");
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
echo $buffer;
}
fclose($handle);

i think my biggest problem is having the script process http://images.domain.com//myImages/q...423&ID=userJoE and download the image qwerty.jpg

There are many ways to do it, for the parsing part try google (search for regex)

To write the file, this is easiest way imo :

$pictureURL = "http://www.gofuckyourself.com/skins/realitycash/images/newthread.gif";
$file = implode("", file($pictureURL));
$handle = fopen("newthread.gif", "w+b");
fwrite($handle, $file);
fclose($handle);
