Displaying Image from String: imagecreatefromstring

[gwinn7]

What I am trying to accomplish is the first step in taking an image from a file and storing it in PostgreSQL.

The first part of this project is to be able to load the file into a string and use the "imagecreatefromfunction" to display the picture. That function ensures that I have loaded the picture and it is displayable.

My problem is that this function is outputting nothing. No error, nothing. The code does process, that I know. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

<?
$filename = &quot;Sample.jpg&quot;;
$fp = fopen($filename, &quot;r&quot;

while(!feof($fp))
{
$data = $data . fread($fp, 1);
}

fclose($fp);

imagecreatefromstring($data);

?>

The next step will be to use the PostgreSQL functions to write the string to the large object.

You're creating the image but never send the output to the browser...

try this:

<?
 $filename = &quot;Sample.jpg&quot;;
 $fp = fopen($filename, &quot;r&quot;);

 while(!feof($fp))
 {
    $data = $data . fread($fp, 1);
 }

 fclose($fp);
 $new_im = imagecreatefromstring($data)
 Header(&quot;Content-Type: image/jpeg&quot;);
 Header(&quot;Content-Description: PHP Generated Image&quot;);
 Imagejpeg($new_im, &quot;MyNewPic.jpg&quot;, 100);
?>
[code]
I have this working in script I wrote a while back - lemme know if you have any problems! -gerrygerry

Interesting. I will give it a try and follow-up.

It worked! Thanks.

The primary problem was missing the &quot;Header&quot; functions. However, the only way the &quot;imagejpeg&quot; function worked was by removing the other parameters. Whats up with that?

Here is your sample...

Imagejpeg($new_im, &quot;MyNewPic.jpg&quot;, 100);

This did not work for me. I don't know why. When I removed the parameters, it worked.

Imagejpeg($new_im);

If you can explain why the sample would not work but this did, I would be interested in your response.

Thanks again, gerrygerry!
