PHP-Imagemagick image display

Question

I have php code which create pdf thumbnail as follows;

setImageFormat(\"png         


        

Answer 1

Embedding an image using base64 is a COMPLETELY wrong way to go about the problem esp. with something stateless like a php web script.

You should instead use http parameters to have a single php file which can perform two tasks - the default will send html , and the parameter will instruct the php file to print the image. Below is the "standard" way to do it -

');
} else
{
    // The display key exists which means we want to display an image
    $file ="test.pdf";
    $im = new imagick(realpath($file).'[0]');
    $im->setImageFormat("png");
    $im->resizeImage(200,200,1,0);
    header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
    $thumbnail = $im->getImageBlob();
    echo $thumbnail;
}
?>
