PHP Binary Conversion

[pudge1]

I want to convert a .bin Binary File to a .png Image File. Here is my code:

 

<?php
$file = 'test.bin';
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
$filestream = fread($fp, filesize($file));
$filestream = base64_decode($filestream);
$stream = imagecreatefromstring($filestream);
if ($stream !== false) {
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($stream);
imagedestroy($stream);
}
else {
echo "An error occured.";
}
?>

 

I don't have the kind of binary file I want to convert to test it. I am not sure if I am doing it write though in the first place. Can someone tell me if this would convert a binary file to an image by any chance?

Not sure what you mean by a binary file.

Firstly a binary file could be almost anything (not limited to an image)

the extension .bin is commonly used for CD/DVD images (not pictures but disc images)

 

the fact your using base64_decode would suggest your dealing with a MacBinary archive (which I have only seen on email on Mac OS9 (classic), However by looking at your script it would suggest you have a JPEG, PNG, GIF, WBMP, or GD2 file and are attempting to convert to png if its not one of those formats then your need to give some details

What I am trying to do is convert a .bin file generated by Super Smash Bros BRAWL that you can put on a SD card but it is in a .bin file. So I need to convert it to a .png.

Use

SSBB Bin file viewer

or maybe attach a file so someone can look at it to write a convertor
