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

I generete a image with javascript/kendo and send this by ajax to the server.

preg_replace('#^data:image/[^;]+;base64,#', '', $s['image']); 

it does not work in this case. in my case this code works better:

$contentType  = mime_content_type($s['image']);
$img = preg_replace('#^data:image/(.*?);base64,#i', '$2', $s['image']);
