Is there a get function or something in php to copy from one server to another?

You'll have to elaborate on what exactly you are trying to do.
Where will the PHP script be run? On the source or destination server?
Will you have NFS access to either end? (e.g. copy /net/src_svr/file /localdir).

fopen and copy wil probably be of interest, along with the other filesystem functions.

you can use PHP's FTP function if you really need to get the file from one server to another

Have a look into the curl() function available for php

Basically, at the moment I can upload from my hard drive. I want to be able to "upload" from a remote url. It could be any image on the web, just saves me saving it to my desktop and then uploading it to the webpage.
