PHP - Get raw image data from image in a HTML document

Solution:

Without seeing your script, it is hard to figure out what you are looking for. Let's assume the page generates output like this:

<img src="http://imgplacewhatever.com/lskjdflksdjf.png" />
Copy code

Using this excellent DOM Parsing Library, we can do something like this:

$html = file_get_html('GETIMAGE.php?type=small&path=/path/to/image.png');
$pictures = array();
foreach($html->find('img') as $element) 
   $pictures[] = $element->src;
}

foreach ($pictures as $picture) {
   $data = file_get_contents($picture);
   ## Do something with the data.
}
Copy code

Then you will have an array of all pictures in$pictures.

Good luck.

Solution:

You can use file_get_contents() method to get the data.

Here you can use

$filePath=$_GET['path'];
$imageData=file_get_contents($filePath);
Copy code

Solution:

Don't know if you ever found an answer, but I finally did. The data that was being received by file_get_contents - or any CURL method - was actually returning data in a gzip format. When I saved the output to a file and extracted it as a gzip archive, the image was there.
