Hi, I'm working on a friends and family personal portal page, to learn advanced web development using PHP, and I'm suddenly stuck on a feature I have no idea how to implement.
A few years ago I was using Joomla/Mambo, and one of the modules was a 'links' module, it ha a feature that 'fetched' a image preview of the linked site the first time the module was loaded and saved the pics in a folder, to prevent doing the 'fetching' again. I have been unable to relocate the module to have a look at the codes, and googling was not too helpful, so I', asking you: Are there any way of doing this in PHP or was the module using some 3rd party resources? and if it is, how??
thanks for any and all help!
