How to create a JPEG from raw image data

Hi folks,

I am trying to display a JPEG from raw data that is base64 encoded.

The raw data is generated on a remote server and I put it into a variable

$raw_image=image data dump coming from remote server

I then decode it with:
$actual_label = base64_decode ($raw_image);

What now? How do I make it actually appear on the browser?

Thanks,

Boaz

Send an image header and echo the data like

header ("Content-type: image/png");
echo $actual_label;

Hi Vincent,

Thank you. This works but only in the beginning of a document.

What can I do in order to add the image within an html page?

Thanks,

Boaz

You cannot print raw image data inside an HTML page, you can either print the image or you can print an HTML page.

If you want this image to display in an HTML page you will have to make it so that another page calls this script using the IMG tag:

Works like a charm. Thank you Sir.

Merry Xmas!
