OK, I have been struggling for about 2 days on this. I can get an image from youtube like this,

$filename = $video_id . '.jpg';
$youtube_thumb_url = "https://img.youtube.com/vi/". $video_id . "/maxresdefault.jpg"; 
$imagedata = file_get_contents($youtube_thumb_url) ;

this is where I am stuck, how do I save this back to a .jpg file? I tried this,

$imagedata->move('uploads', $filename );

But that did not work, because $imagedata is a string.

I thought of trying to convert $imagedata, but I cant figure out what the format of is.

Help Please. Bill

You can try using curl to get images from uri, then save the image

Save image from url with curl PHP
