Image Library is not saving image - El Forum - 01-17-2013

I am trying to fetch a picture of a bear from the URL and save it as aabear.jpg. However, my code is failing. What is wrong?
Code:
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['source_image'] = 'http://thejuxtapositionape.blog.com/files/2012/03/polar-bear-pup.jpg';
$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['width'] = 75;
$config['height'] = 50;
$config['new_image'] = 'aabear.jpg';
$this->load->library('image_lib', $config);Image Library is not saving image - El Forum - 01-17-2013

You're just loading the library, but not telling it to do anything. Also not sure if source_image can be a URL, the manual refers to a local path.

It worked using local path. Thank you

If all you are trying to do is retrieve an image from a URL and save it on your local filesystem, I'd use file_get_contents(), and then file_put_contents(). The image library is for manipulation, like cropping, resizing, rotating, watermarking, etc.
