I have a webcam set up on a computer on our University network. &nbsp;This computer is visible to all other uni computers, including the webserver we use, but not to the outside world. &nbsp;Currently the webcam is serving an image on port 80 of it's own computer. &nbsp;I can link to this with an image tag in a file on the webserver and the pic will display when a campus computer requests it, but obviously not when the request is made from the outside world. &nbsp;Therefore I need some PHP to fetch the image from the webcam server, cache it, and output it on the web page so that all can see the image. &nbsp;Any ideas how to do this?

I have a webcam set up on a computer on our University network.  This computer is visible to all other uni computers, including the webserver we use, but not to the outside world.  Currently the webcam is serving an image on port 80 of it's own computer.  I can link to this with an image tag in a file on the webserver and the pic will display when a campus computer requests it, but obviously not when the request is made from the outside world.  Therefore I need some PHP to fetch the image from the webcam server, cache it, and output it on the web page so that all can see the image.  Any ideas how to do this?

How can I cache a fetched image from a network and output it on the webserver?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
