Hi,
I'm just playing around with the FB Connect and quick registration using Connect instead of a regular sign-up.

I've got the connect working and get the user details. I am going to add these to my database for registration but I'm wondering what to do about the profile photo. I would like that this photo would become their automatic profile pic on my site.

Is there a way of downloading this photo from FB using PHP and uploading it to where my users profile pics are usually, or do I need to just hotlink to the facebook image (not even sure they allow that)?

Thanks!
