Hi can some one help me out i am looking for a php script that will fecth the webcam image locate on http://www.harrisnorwood.org.uk/webcam_image.php every hour and save it to my server

Untested...

$rh = fopen($file_source, 'rb');
$wh = fopen($file_target, 'wb');
if ($rh===false || $wh===false) {
die("File read/write error");
}

while (!feof($rh)) {
fwrite($wh, fread($rh, 1024));
}
fclose($rh);
fclose($wh);

$file_source="http://www.harrisnorwood.org.uk/webcam_image.php";
$file_target="http://www.mjeffs.info/images" time();
$rh = fopen($file_source, 'rb');
$wh = fopen($file_target, 'wb');
if ($rh===false || $wh===false) {

}

while (!feof($rh)) {
fwrite($wh, fread($rh, 1024));

Change
$file_target="http://www.mjeffs.info/images" time();
to
$file_target=getcwd() . "/images/" . time();
Then run upload the script to your host, if the page loads and is blank, that's good. Look into cron jobs to run it every hour.

yeah thanks that works and i think i set the cron job is set up correctly but their is one other thing when i load the image forlder by connecting to the server by ftp the files are not jpg however when i go to www.mjeffs.info/images and click on them their are is their a quick fix for this.

Change
$file_target=getcwd() . "/images/" . time();
to
$file_target=getcwd() . "/images/" . time() . ".jpg";
For obvious reasons...
Also check out www[dot]webcron[dot]/index.php?&lang=en

Just add:

wget -Nqk -O images/webcam.jpg http://www.harrisnorwood.org.uk/webcam_image.php

to your cron. No need to do any PHP.

i just get images/webcam.jpg: No such file or directory in the email sent when the server trys to do the cron job
