Displaying a binary image

[jumpenjuhosaphat]

I would like to know if anyone knows how I could go about sending an image to the browser that is binary. 

Here is what I am doing right now...but it's not working:

 

header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="image.jpg"');
$theImage = $thePage->GetAs("image.jpg", 350, 270, 60);
imagejpeg($theImage);

 

I have an ASP script that I am going off of to pull this together, and it uses "Response.BinaryWrite", is there an equivalent in PHP?

Here imagejpeg() is doing that job.

e.g Its writting Binary data.

That's what I thought...But my result is a page with the page URL printed in the browser window, and no source code...And when I right click the text, it shows up like it is an image...ie "Copy Image", "Copy Image Location"....Etc.

 

<?php
if(isset($_GET['submit']))
  {
$url=$_GET['site'];

$thePage = new COM("ABCDrawHTML2.Page");
$thePage->Url = ($url);
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="image.jpg"');
$theImage = $thePage->GetAs("image.jpg", 350, 270, 60);


$thePage->Save('C:/wamp/www/'.$url.'.jpg');
}
?>

 

The image saves fine, but I am trying to avoid saving it, because I will be accessing this from a different server, and I don't want the images to overload my home computer.

Ya send the Binary data Directly to the Browser

first do header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");

And then use imagejpeg(); To send the binary data directly to teh browser you dont need to save it.

Here is the full code:

 

<?php
if(isset($_GET['submit']))
  {
$url=$_GET['site'];

$thePage = new COM("ABCDrawHTML2.Page");
$thePage->Url = ($url);
$theImage = $thePage->GetAs("image.jpg", 350, 270, 60);
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="image.jpg"');
imagejpeg($theImage);

$thePage->Save('C:/wamp/www/'.$url.'.jpg');
}


echo'
<form method="get" action="david.php">
<input type="text" name="site"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit"/>
</form>
';

?>

 

It doesn't even echo the form or the image at the end of the script.....The script stops without any errors for no apparent reason...I moved the ->GetAs, and the script continued until it came to that, and just quit....
