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

Stupid question: is the mime-type correct?? is your base64 code represent a gif file????

this is an example using a image/png, without php, just html, and it works:

Just try it.

Now, the same base64 code using the php exemplified above but using the proper mime-type (image/png):

";

?>

So, this is the code:

echo "";

Notice, since I am using double quotes for the echo tag, I have to tell php to ignore the ones inside the img tag. Other than that, you are good
