Is there a way to save a websites pictures without actually right-clicking them then selecting "save link as"?

Is this a PHP problem? Is there a javascript or PERL script or something that could do a better job?

Right click and copy ;)

But seriously, what are trying to accomplish? Is this from an end-user point of view, a development initiative ...? If you want the image, saving it to disk by right-clicking and choosing the option to save it is your best bet.

More for development/testing purposes. I'd rather not sit at my desk for 900 days right clicking and making sure every picture saves....oh well, guess I'm stuck eh.

If it's just for developer purpose you can configurate your browser to store every picture and then just copy them from the temp directory to desired one.

I know that IE XP stores the data in Documents and Settings/username/Temporary Internet Files/

As for mozilla I was unable to find it

Mozilla, Firefox et al store cached images as binary files. There is a third-party program to view them but I find it easier to just export images from the IE Temp file.

That's not much help, ramoneguru ;-) Are you trying to get all the images from another site in which you don't have shell or FTP access? There are plenty of options. wget is one that comes to mind ...

Yeah IE stores the pictures just fine once I visit the sites. I can open the pages and whatnot, then close them, and finally just export the pictures from the IE cache folder....Thanks guys/girls....man, I love this site...

Sorry for the lack of information...I think I need to work on my questions a little more before posting.
