PHP Image from URL

I have the following url which returns an image in the body, How would I assign that image to a variable so that I could save it or use it within my code?

https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C4E03AQGOM3p0fHNkwQ/profile-displayphoto-shrink_100_100/0?e=1556755200&v=beta&t=qeQFKYXpev2ZW3hmP1ODDPd3DYPWvl-GaUnPSZG-aQA

The following code returns noting:

<?php
     $url = "https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/C4E03AQGOM3p0fHNkwQ/profile-displayphoto-shrink_100_100/0?e=1556755200&v=beta&t=qeQFKYXpev2ZW3hmP1ODDPd3DYPWvl-GaUnPSZG-aQA";
     $image = file_get_contents($url);
     echo $image;
?>

If you simply want to view an image from a URL, just put that url in the src attribute of an img element like this :
echo '<img src="' . $url . '"/>';

otherwise, if you have to view it from the fetched data of that url, then your question have been answered here:
