How to return an image from own PHP page using other server url

Question

How can I make a PHP page that will return image from other server specified by url in variable, like this:

And after going to that page an image should apear.

It need to work for any other srcs too.

(Why like this? I want to try bypass the Security Error that apears using toDataUrl from canvas while using image not from the same domain, by using http://www.mypage.com/MyScript.php?src=http://www.otherpage.com/image.png as a image src used in canvas)

In MyScript.php, use $_GET['src'] as the source of the image

<img src="<? echo $_GET['src']; ?>" />

You can try with

echo file_get_contents($_GET['src']);

as long as the fopen wrappers are enabled. – Nov 10 '13 at 19:03
Using any img url shows error: Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Filename cannot be empty in /xxxx/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/Myscript.php on line 2 (line 2 is this code) – Kyrtap Nov 10 '13 at 19:06
$_GET['src'] is empty, IMHO. Try print_r($_GET['src']) to check if it's empty or not. Or try echo file_get_contents('http://URL/TO/IMAGE.png') and test if file_get_contents works. – Sergio Terrasi Nov 10 '13 at 20:28
