I have a CSV datafeed that will eventually end up in MySQL. Within this data are URL's for thousands of products, which point to my wholesaler's website. Since I cannot show the images coming directly from my wholesaler on my site, would I have to actually save each and every one of these products, one at a time, to my own url?

I was told that I could manipulate all of the content, so if I want to always show my price as $2 greater than my cost shown in the database, I just have to set it once that way, and it will forever show, EVEN THOUGH THE DATAFEED COMES IN EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Is this something I will have to play with daily, or is it a set it and forget it, even though the datafeed changes daily in regard to available products.?

Thanks!

i think if you have the url you shuold be able to use php somehow to copy the image onto your local server... i'm not to sure about the functions but if you have thousands of images to go through the time might be well spent researching this rather than manually saving each picture.

You should be able to come up with a script that pulls in the feed, looks for images, and downloads them unless you already have the image. You'd probably want to use curl for that.
