No. You have to save the file locally before you can upload it.

of course, you can also leave the file on its original location and store only the url. If that is sufficient of course

@Caspar Kleijne: Yes, but you can't use an `<input type=file>` for that.

perhaps i should clarify, i am using the open graph api to supplement my registration system .. the api coneects and fetched all user information including a link to the picture...but my registration system uses an <input file> to take the pic and store it in mysql. how can i replace the input file to take the data from facebook instead.. if, as you suggested i try to do it server side facebook authentication will create problems.

Nope, it can't.

You would have to make it a text input, and fetch the image on server side.
