Importing Images Through PHP
Hi, I'm designing a website aiming to provide visual coverage of surfing locations across the UK through the use of webcam images. Each of the images themselves will be retrieved externally, with permission, from various hotels over-looking these locations.
I have spoken to someone who has completed a similar project, a widget which retrieves and displays webcam images, which can be viewed here: http://www.ukbiketrails.co.uk/ukss/weCams.php I would like to use the same method. Explained in his own words: 'The feeds you see in the widget are simply JPEG images hosted on the originating website, so none of the feeds are handled by myself. The widget sends a HTTP request for the JPEG and displays what it gets in the widget.' As you can tell from the link url, he's used PHP, which I have been learning. I have lost contact with him recently and not sure the steps I should take to integrate such a feature into my website. Please help!

Re: Importing Images Through PHP
The images aren't being 'imported via php'.
The data which composes the image is store on a remote website. ie.: http://surfstation.co.uk/saunpick.jpg I think he's just using PHP to get a list of images, ie, a feed with the locations of the images.

Re: Importing Images Through PHP
Ok thanks. Could I ask for a brief list of things required and to be researched in order to retrieve a JPEG, like in your url link example, and import that into a flash website for display. I understand PHP is required to overcome security issues when loading data across domains. What should I look into for PHP to acheive this?

Re: Importing Images Through PHP
It's no trouble, but I can't help you with the PHP. I'm an ASP dude...
Actually, I don't do Flash either... LOL I can say that you will definitelly need to work with HTTP Requests, ie.: send some data and get some data in response. But you already knew that so lets see if one of our PHP-wise members can help you out...

Re: Importing Images Through PHP
Thanks. I'm researching HTTP requests now, got a huge book "PHP For Dynamic Websites" Unfortunately not many pages listed in the index for HTTP so its not proving to be very helpful lol.

Re: Importing Images Through PHP
Around where I live - surfers hate people setting up webcams to see the waves... in their opinion that it's kinda cheating not to have to drive around and find the best spot... it also means all the good spots will be really busy!

Re: Importing Images Through PHP
Hehe, I have my opinions on flash - but I don't think it would be very safe to say them in the flash forum...
