How to decode a base64 string (gif) into image in PHP / HTML

Question

I have a base64 encoded string that I would like to convert into an image in PHP / HTML.

Here is what I have:

$data = \"R0lGODdhAAGAAKIAAP38+/3h3cj         


        

Answer 1

In the first case you should add this before echoing the decoded image data:

header("Content-type: image/gif");

In the second case, use this instead:

echo '';
