Decode base64 pdf file

[compwhizmm]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to work on a script that can decode an encoded pdf file from xml. I have the xml in a variable called $result. Inside that xml there is code for the pdf. It is encoded in base64. My question is how can I pull the data from the xml, decode it, and display the pdf file that it is.

 

Thank you!

base64_decode()?

I have tried that, but the page comes up blank. I'm not sure how to make it display as a pdf. Also, I'm not sure if i'm pulling the variables from the xml correctly.

 

Here is a sample of my xml.

 

<xmlsample><pdffile>Encoded pdf data</pdffile></xmlsample>

 

The above is in a variable called $result.

 

I tried to pull it out like this

 

$result['pdffile']

 

Is that correct?

 

I need to pull the encoded pdf data out, decode it, then display it as a pdf. Thanks or any help!!!

u can use:

header("Content-type: application/pdf");

echo ((base64_decode($result));
