First Image
===========

[](#first-image)

---

Simple library that returns the first image on a web page. Though, only if it's in an `` tag.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Add to your composer.json file

```
"matula/firstimg": "dev-master"

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
$url = 'http://google.com';
$image = new Matula\Firstimg\Firstimg($url);
echo $image->downloadImage();

```

This will find the first image on the page and download it. Currently, it also resizes the image to 100px.

### TODO

[](#todo)

- better documentation
- customize the image's filename/extension
- customize image resizing, or disable
- better formatting, etc
