How can PHP functions like file_get_contents and file_put_contents be utilized to retrieve and display external images on a website?

To retrieve and display external images on a website using PHP, you can use the file_get_contents function to fetch the image from a URL and then use file_put_contents to save the image locally. Once the image is saved locally, you can display it on your website using an HTML <img> tag with the path to the saved image.

&lt;?php
$url = &#039;https://example.com/image.jpg&#039;;
$image = file_get_contents($url);
file_put_contents(&#039;images/image.jpg&#039;, $image);
?&gt;

&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Display External Image&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;images/image.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;External Image&quot;&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
