"simple" and "place it on the server" don't really mix if you want the
script to be save (you could end up with malicious content on your
server...)

Without the security, your script could be like this though (PHP > 4.3.0):

$url = "http://some/url/of/image.jpg";
preg_match('"(\.[^/]+)$"', $url, $match);
$extension = (isset($match[1])) ? $match[1] : '';
$int = 'your_number';
$handle = fopen($url, 'r',);
copy($handle, '/path/on/your/server/'.$int.$extension);
