What is a simple php code to render a image from another site.?

I need to make a Flash 8 application load an image from servers I don't have access to that have cross-domain file policies. I need the swf to think that the image comes from the same domain to use the BitmapData.draw() function with these images but there wasn't any wway to check for a cross-domain file policy until version 9. Is there a php code I could use so I could reference the php and get the image I wanted to load with a query string or POST variable i.e.
proxyImage.php?http://image.youneed.com/picture.jpg

Yes, the other site allows hot-linking. I already mentioned they have a cross-domain file policy. I just can't access the cross-domain file policy for the BitmapData class with Flash 8. I can't afford to upgrade to Flash 9 which has this bug fixed. I actually do have a legitimate reason for this, I can load and display the images, I just need to be able to manipulate the data to resize the image on the fly. I don't have access to the servers where the images are stored, so I can't work around it using multiple swf files. I know it would be better not to use a proxy image loading script and as soon as I can afford it or figure out how to edit my script in binary to version 9 format I'll do that. I've found a few script examples, but they seem to be lacking something. I don't know much php yet so I was hoping someone would have a code I could use.

Unless the other site allows hot linking or the image is in the public domain, you would be better off not even attempting what you want to do.
