  • You could use the PHP `copy($url)` function (which usually works with HTTP protocol). – Eduard Luca Dec 15 '11 at 13:42

Just ran into the same issue here is the code I used to solve.

$url = 'http://graph.facebook.com/' . $userInfo['id'] . '/picture?type=large';

$headers = get_headers($url, 1); // make link request and wait for redirection

if(isset($headers['Location'])) {
   $url = $headers['Location']; // this gets the new url
} else {
   $url = false; 
}

$targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/yourImagePath/");
$destFile = "yourFileName.jpg"

if($url){
   if (copy($url, $targetPath.$destFile)) {
   // file is now copied to your server do what ever you want here
   }
}
