How to convert an image to Base64 encoding

I think that it should be:

$path = 'myfolder/myimage.png';$type = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);$data = file_get_contents($path);$base64 = 'data:image/' . $type . ';base64,' . base64_encode($data);

Easy:

$imagedata = file_get_contents("/path/to/image.jpg");             // alternatively specify an URL, if PHP settings allow$base64 = base64_encode($imagedata);

Bear in mind that this will enlarge the data by 33%,and you'll have problems with files whose size exceed your memory_limit.

Also use this way to represent an image in Base64-encoded format...

Find the PHP function file_get_content and next use the function base64_encode.

And get the result to prepare str as data:" . file_mime_type . " base64_encoded string. Use it in the img src attribute. The following code ma be helpful:

// A few settings$img_file = 'raju.jpg';// Read image path, convert to base64 encoding$imgData = base64_encode(file_get_contents($img_file));// Format the image SRC:  data:{mime};base64,{data};$src = 'data: '.mime_content_type($img_file).';base64,'.$imgData;// Echo out a sample imageecho '<img src="'.$src.'">';
