I want to download image from url and add it to my wordpress page. Well everything is okay when url is like this : 

www.domain.com/images/image.jpg

But I want to get image from steam market , and their image links look like this:

https://steamcommunity-a.akamaihd.net/economy/image/-9a81dlWLwJ2UUGcVs_nsVtzdOEdtWwKGZZLQHTxDZ7I56KU0Zwwo4NUX4oFJZEHLbXH5ApeO4YmlhxYQknCRvCo04DEVlxkKgpot7HxfDhjxszJemkV09-5gZKKkPLLMrfFqWdY781lteXA54vwxgbjrkc5ZD3wLNLGcFVrYl6GrAS2x7y7g8PvupidzyRmuCUl4H6IzkSpwUYbC6zHyEM/360fx360f

And when I call PHP function file_get_contents($url); It doesn't return image. So how can I retrieve image. Thanks

Your image link from Steam is using SSL. Using SSL in PHP requires a bit more setup than using a normal link. Replace the https:// with http:// in your image link and your problem should be solved.

file_get_contents("http://steamcommunity-a.akamaihd.net/economy/image/-9a81dlWLwJ2UUGcVs_nsVtzdOEdtWwKGZZLQHTxDZ7I56KU0Zwwo4NUX4oFJZEHLbXH5ApeO4YmlhxYQknCRvCo04DEVlxkKgpot7HxfDhjxszJemkV09-5gZKKkPLLMrfFqWdY781lteXA54vwxgbjrkc5ZD3wLNLGcFVrYl6GrAS2x7y7g8PvupidzyRmuCUl4H6IzkSpwUYbC6zHyEM/360fx360f")

If you absolutely must use SSL to load the image, you can read how to do that on this other Stack Overflow question: How to get file_get_contents() to work with HTTPS?
