Uploading a photo with Flickr

I just started working with the Flickr API today and I have a question:

If I allow a person to u开发者_Python百科pload a photo to my website and then in order for me not to store it on my small local server, how can I just upload that photo to Flickr using the PHP Flickr API?

That should be a pretty common use case, correct? I use PHP.

Thanks, Alex

Maybe this will point you in the right direction since depending on what you want to do with your files after you upload them.

Have you checked out the documentation for the API. I've worked with it in the past, you don't need to download the image yourself you upload it and send it straight to Flickr.
