get and save youtube thumbnail to web server

So I know that I can retrieve the youtube thumbnail by going here:

http://img.youtube.com/vi/BoVBdxftEF8/0.jpg

obviously the ID changes based on the video. I want to write a script that I can get save the photo from that URL to a folder say called 'video_thumbnails'. Is there a somewhat simple way of doing this in PHP?

Quite simple:

file_put_contents ("video_thumbnails/thumb.jpg",file_get_contents("http://img.youtube.com/vi/BoVBdxftEF8/0.jpg"));
