You can get it using file_get_contents() and saving it using file_put_contents(). Something like:

$image = file_get_contents('http://www.address.com/image.jpg');
file_put_contents('image.jpg', $image);

You also might want look into cURL to fetch the image; it should perform better than file_get_contents() (unless you compile curl with --with-curlwrappers)
