PHP image proxy to use direct URL instead?

I have HTML code like this to call a PHP image proxy

<img src="http://serverA.com/my_proxy.php?img=http://serverB.com/xyz.jpg" />

and in my_proxy.php, the code is following:

header('Content-type: image/jpeg;');
$a = file_get_contents($pic);
echo $a;

But for some cases, I want to use the image URL directly (http://serverB.com/xyz.jpg) so the HTML code is actually pulling down the image from the URL directly. Is it possible to do this by changing the code in my_proxy.php (not the HTML)?

You can do a header redirect which will instruct the browser to fetch the image from the remote location.

header("location: ".$_GET["img"]);
die();
