How can PHP be used to upload an image from a specified URL and store it in a specific directory?

To upload an image from a specified URL and store it in a specific directory using PHP, you can use the `file_put_contents()` function to download the image from the URL and then save it to the desired directory using `file_put_contents()` again. Make sure to validate the URL and handle any errors that may occur during the process. 

$url = 'https://example.com/image.jpg'; // Specify the URL of the image
$directory = 'images/'; // Specify the directory where you want to store the image

// Get the image data from the URL
$imageData = file_get_contents($url);

// Save the image data to the specified directory
if($imageData !== false) {
    file_put_contents($directory . basename($url), $imageData);
    echo "Image uploaded successfully!";
} else {
    echo "Failed to upload image.";
}
