base64_encode() to encode image data

vibinkrish · March 9th, 2006, 07:43 AM

using base64_encode() to encode image data and finally output to browser using "data" scheme of IMG src:

<?
// ...
echo '<img src="data:image/png;base64,'.$encoded.' ">';
?>

Netscape browser supports this... However, Windows' Internet Explorer does not.
I need solution for Internet Explorer.
Please help me

Hello Vivinkrish
I had the same problem and it was hard to find any information on this.

I know you need php, but if you can't find anything, which I hope someone does post a solution here. But if you can run a ASP script I have a function to turn the file into an actual tif, gif or pdf format.
