In PHP, you can also use socket connections (similar to the Inet control in VB). Your hosting service has to allow it though :) By the way, fopen will open remote files too.

Thank you :)

I've checked that out, and as soon as finals are over with, I will try that and see what happens.

Greg: I started thinking about that, but the problem is that NASA creates a new directory (as far as I know) each day for the pictures.

At least a different file for each picture. You pretty much have to extract the URL from the page.
