How to grab photo from remote link and upload

[SONYFX]

I want to create a webpage that allows user to type in the link to upload their photos, for example if the user enters the Flickr image link, I will some how grab that image and upload it onto my website.

Thanks, I heard that Curl might cause security issue and some webhost doesn't support it, is this true?

I use wget to do it and call it through PHP. Example:

<?php
system('wget -P' . $imageDIR . ' ' . $imageURL, $output);
?>
