Some time we need save url image help of code without open browser

This function save image without open link.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

fclose($fp);

Note : One of the main reasons to use cURL to save or display a remote image is that some servers/hosts have allow_url_fopen turned off. This means functions like fopen can’t open files held on external servers.
