Example to convert base64 to image file
Let’s assume that we’ve the following base64 image string.
iVBORw0K...kSuQmCC
Note: The given base64 image string is not a complete image string so use your base64 image string to execute the code. Check out the git source for the demo string.
Now try to generate an image file using PHP. The following code will help you to do it. Make sure you have an `images` directory with permission before executing the code.
index.php
<?php
// base64 image code
$base64_code = "<YOUR_BASE64_IMAGE_STRING>";
// create an image file
$fp = fopen("./images/clue_mediator.png", "w+");
// write the data in image file
fwrite($fp, base64_decode($base64_code));
// close an open file pointer
fclose($fp);
?>
Let’s try to understand code line by line.
- First consider the base64 image code to convert it into an image.
- Use fopen() function to create an image file in the given directory.
- Now use the fwrite() function to write the base64 image code in an image file.
- At last we have to close an open file pointer for that we used fclose() function.
After executing the `index.php` file we can get an image from base64 code and save it in the given path of the directory.
That’s it for today.
