if I may, why are you trying to re-invent the wheel when you already have N jquery based api(s) doing the same for you? e.g. blueimp? – Satya Oct 08 '12 at 03:24

Have api.php run a cURL command on your server to get the URL of the file submitted to your API then download the file where you want. Have it then return the location of the image to your script for final processing to include renaming and any database storage you want to accomplish.

If you can that would be news to me. You would need cURL to process the image fetch - or maybe use exec() and wget. I have never tried the latter but give it a shot. Why wouldn't you want to store the image information in the database? There seems to be a lot of information you could collect for analysis and reporting later. – rws907 Oct 08 '12 at 03:42

In PHP file can be read over the network into a string with file_get_contents function, no need for cURL or wget. http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php – divanov Oct 10 '12 at 10:03
