PHP, need help using cURL as allow_url_fopen is disabled

Question

I need some help. I'm very new to cURL. I got a script working that would create a feed from a wordpress blog (with magpie XML parser). I also got an image resize script to resize the images for me. It works locally but because my web hosting has allow_url_fopen() disabled I've been told I need to use cURL but I can't get anything to work.

Here's the code BEFORE I tried to get cURL working:

<?php $url = $_GET['imagesrc']; // Set a maximum height and width $width = 200; $height = 200; // Content type // Get new dimensions list($width_orig, $height_orig) = getimagesize($url); $ratio_orig = $width_orig/$height_orig; if ($width/$height > $ratio_orig) { $width = $height*$ratio_orig; } else { $height = $width/$ratio_orig; } // Resample $image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height); $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($url); imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height, $width_orig, $height_orig); // Output header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); return(imagejpeg($image_p, null, 100)); ?>

Download image file to local machine and then use it in imagecreatefromjpeg($filePointer);. Code to download file is as follows.

/** * Initialize the cURL session */ $ch = curl_init(); /** * Set the URL of the page or file to download. */ curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, ‘your_URL’); /** * Create a new file */ $fp = fopen(‘img.jpg’, ‘w’); /** * Ask cURL to write the contents to a file */ curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); /** * Execute the cURL session */ curl_exec ($ch); /** * Close cURL session and file */ curl_close ($ch); fclose($fp);
