Answer 1

define('IMAGE_PATH', '/path/to/images');

foreach ($urlArray as $url) {
    file_put_contents(IMAGE_PATH . "/" . basename($url), file_get_contents($url));
}

This would require that the user Apache is running under has write access to the IMAGE_PATH. Also, this might not be the exact solution in your case. You seem to be in need of a database to store these filenames, which then probably should be wearing ids instead of their original filenames.
