[SOLVED] Create Image From Bytes

[cgishack]

Hello,

I have a web service returning me an Array of Bytes in the form of a Jpg.

I am trying to us the GD lib to create the image.

 

Here is my code ($imageBytes is the array of Bytes)

//Create the image from Bytes to JPEG.
$img = imagecreatefromstring($imageBytes);
header('Content-Type: image/JPEG');
header("Content-Length: " .strlen($imageBytes));
imagejpeg($img);

 

But the image is not displaying.

 

Should I use GD, or should I use something else.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong.

Can you show the jpeg to bytes array code, as it would be a simple matter of reversing it

Well I get it from a web service

Like so..

 

$fixedSizeReturn = $client->WarehouseExtractRadiusFixedSize_v1($radiusSize);
$imageBytes = $fixedSizeReturn->WarehouseExtractRadiusFixedSize_v1Result->Result->Image->ImageBytes;

 

The documentation says

"Returns an image as a JPEG as an array of bytes"

 

I have done it in ASP.NET like so

        Response.ContentType = "image/JPEG";
        Response.AppendHeader("Content-Length", imageBytes.Length.ToString());
        Response.Cache.SetLastModified(DateTime.Now);
        Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public);
        Response.BinaryWrite(imageBytes);

 

But, now I need to do the same thing in PHP

well if imagecreatefromstring isn't working then maybe try building a string from the array

 

ie

<?php
$newimage = "";
foreach ($imageBytes as $b)
{
$newimage .= $b;
}

$img = imagecreatefromstring($newimage);

?>

 

 

this is a pure guess

You know what my problem was.....

 

I had white space in my php file at the top..

So <php should have been on line 0 but I had it on line 10

 

I never thought that would matter,  but it did.

Maybe passes extra bytes  to the file.

 

Thanks for all your help.
