How can I strip the data:image part from a base64 string of any image type in PHP

Question

I am currently doing the following to decode base64 images in PHP:

   $img = str_replace(\'data:image/jpeg;base64,\', \'\', $s[\'image\']);
   $img = str_rep

You would have to test it but I think this solution should be slightly faster than Mihai Iorga's

$offset = str_pos($s['image'], ',');
$data = base64_decode(substr($s['image'], $offset));
