extract image data (BLOB) from imagejpeg()

[ajoo]

Hi all,

 

The following bit of snippet displays a resized jpeg.  

$dst = imageCreateTrueColor($nwidth, $nheight);
imageCopyResampled($dst, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, $nwidth, $nheight, $ix, $iy);

imagejpeg($dst);

Is there a simple, direct way to extract image data (BLOB) from this without actually saving the imagejpeg($dst) to a file first and then reading it back again ?

 

Thanks all !

you would need to use php's output buffering statements.

The following does it :-

ob_start();
imagejpeg($dst_img);
$imagedata = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_flush();

Thanks for the pointer mac_gyver
