I have seen somewhere in the social website like bluefoxx.com, if you try to share the link of a website on the wall post like champrep.com or google.com, it displays the images for those websites may be the logos.

So can anyone please help me if i have to use same functionality in my php website how can i do that.

Thanks

    Sharing your research helps everyone. Tell us what you've tried and why it didn’t meet your needs. This demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to try to help yourself, it saves us from reiterating obvious answers, and most of all it helps you get a more specific and relevant answer! – NullPoiиteя Aug 02 '13 at 06:51

It is either the file called /favicon.ico at the webserver or the file defined with <link rel="icon">:

<link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

In c# ASP.Net is simple ... you need to know the virtual path of that image ... bellow is a method that i used to save my barcode images that i ganerate into a web browser

public void GetPhoto(string filePath)
           {

               WebClient fileReader = new WebClient();
               fileReader.DownloadFile(filePath, Server.MapPath(string.Format("Image/someImage_{0}.jpg",txtBarCodeText.Text)));
               byte[] photo = null;


               string stream = Server.MapPath(string.Format("Image/someImage_{0}.jpg",txtBarCodeText.Text));
               TextBox1.Text = stream.ToString();

           }

filePath need to look like this... http://www.website.com/image.jpg you can right click on web picture you want to get and look to properties to see it's path Gook luck ;)
