how to base64 encode a doc file - php

I am working on a php project that I need to send base64 encoded doc document to the server using CURL. Here is the code:
$c = file_get_contents("test.doc");
$encoded = base64_encode($c);
I found the resulting $encoded is invalid.
In this website: https://www.base64encode.org/
I uploaded the file and base64 encoded online, the resultant encoded string is correct.
I then tried to cut and paste the text from the doc file and encoded them online at the above website, the resultant string is different than the valid string I got. Therefore, I guess I could not just extract the text from the doc file and base64 encode them.

try this-
$c = file_get_contents("test.doc");
file_put_contents('temp.txt',$c);
$cc = file_get_contents('temp.txt');
if(strlen($cc)=='0'){
$cc = fopen("temp.txt","r");}
$encoded = base64_encode($cc);
unlink('temp.txt');

Convert FPDF output to base64 string

I am working with the PHP API where I need to create the PDF file using the FPDF and then I wanted to save it to the database by converting it to the base64 string. When I have tried the default $pdf->Output() method then I got the PDF file in my postman response.
Then I have tried to use this line of code to encode the pdf to base64 format. It worked but I am getting the broken pdf when I decode the base64 string.
$pdfFile = $pdf->Output("","S");
$base64String = chunk_split(base64_encode($pdfFile));
Am i doing anything wrong with this? Any small help would be appriciated.

PHP convert encoding with Shift_JIS

I have a text file. It contains "砡" character and its encoding is Shift-JIS.
I using function file_get_contents() in PHP (Laravel) to read this file, then response in json for client.
$file = file_get_contents("/path/to/file/text");
$file = iconv("SJIS", "UTF-8//IGNORE", $file);
return response()->json(['content' => $file]);
However, this charater "砡" doesn't correctly display, it show to "x".
How do I fix it ?
Try "SJIS-win" instead of "SJIS".

Base64Decode to file - whats missing?

I have in base64 encoded string in a $_POST field $_POST['nimage'] if I echo it directly as the src value in an img tag, i see the image just fine in browser: echo "<img src='".$_POST['nimage']."'>";
Now, I'm obviously missing a step, because when I base64_decode the string and write it to a file locally on the server, an attempt to view the created file in browser states error:
"The image 'xxxx://myserversomewhere.com/images/img1.jpg' cannot be displayed because it contains errors"
My decode and file put are:
$file = base64_decode($_POST['nimage']);
file_put_contents('images/'. $_POST['imgname'], $file);
which results in images/img1.jpg on the local server. What am I doing wrong in the decode here? Although the base64 output doesn't appear to be URLencoded I have tried urldecode() on it first before base64_decode() just for safe measure with same results.
First few lines of the base64 encode is:
data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAMCAgICAgMCAgIDAwMDBAYEBAQEBAgGBgUGCQgKCgkICQkKDA8MCgsOCwkJDRENDg8QEBEQCgwSExIQEw8QEBD/2wBDAQMDAwQDBAgEBAgQCwkLEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBD/wAARCAF4AqsDAREAAhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQAAAF9AQIDAAQRBRIhMUEGE1FhByJxFDKBkaEII0KxwRVS0fAkM2JyggkKFhcYGRolJicoKSo0NTY3ODk6Q0RFRkdISUpTVFVWV1hZWmNkZWZnaGlqc3R1dnd4eXqDhIWGh4iJipKTlJWWl5iZmqKjpKWmp6ipqrKztLW2t7i5usLDxMXGx8jJytLT1NXW19jZ2uHi4+Tl5ufo6erx8vP09fb3+Pn6/8QAHwEAAwEBAQEBAQEBAQAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtREAAgECBAQDBAcFBAQAAQJ3AAECAxEEBSExBhJBUQdhcRMiMoEIFEKRobHBCSMzUvAVYnLRChYkNOEl8RcYGRomJygpKjU2Nzg5OkNERUZHSElKU1RVVldYWVpjZGVmZ2hpanN0dXZ3eHl6goOEhYaHiImKkpOUlZaXmJmaoqOkpaanqKmqsrO0tba3uLm6wsPExcbHyMnK0tPU1dbX2Nna4uPk5ebn6Onq8vP09fb3+Pn6/9oADAMBAAIRAxEAPwD2gJt+XPJPUGv2A/NB2044oAdtY9M8ccCgB6r8+0jtSYDxEW4xz2qQFCnGOPQ0AAQDJIz9KAF8rI6/hQA9Y+SBgjHIqWA5Yxz2xUsBwUdAMdzSAcFGAB0NADgCVK/KB/OgB6BNzc49agse2OgX2BFZvcCRUO7g
The data you're decoding has a data URI header attached:
data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD...
The header is use by the browser to identify the file type and encoding, but isn't part of the encoded data.
Strip the header (data:image/jpeg;base64,) from the data and base64 decode the rest before writing it to a file: you should be good to go.
$b64 = 'data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD...';
$dat = explode(',' $b64);
// element 1 of array from explode() contains B64-encoded data
if (($fileData = base64_decode($dat[1])) === false) {
exit('Base64 decoding error.');
}
file_put_contents($someFileName, $fileData);
NB: Check the return value of your call to base64_decode() for false and abort somehow with a message. It will trap any problems with the decoding process (like not removing the header!).

Encode file in UTF-16LE in PHP with Byte Order Mask (BOM)

I got a PHP that receive data in POST by my Javascript and I want to write these data in a CSV file. I need to encode this file in UTF-16LE.
What I try is :
1)
$data = $_POST['data'];
$data = iconv("UTF-8","UCS-2LE",$data);
The result when I open it in notepad++ is UCS-2 LE without Byte Order Mask.
2)
$data = $_POST['data'];
$data = mb_convert_encoding($data,"UTF-16LE","UTF-8");
The result is the same as the 1)
If I encode then manually in UTF-16LE with notepad++ I got the perfect result.
How can I get PHP to add a Byte Order Mask to the UTF-16 data?
If you want a BOM, you have to add it manually. For little endian, it is FFFE. So
$data = $_POST['data'];
$data = "\xFF\xFE".iconv("UTF-8","UCS-2LE",$data);
should do the trick...

How to save a base64 decoded image in the filesystem using php?

I am getting a base64 encoded JPEG string via a POST request to my web service.
I want to decode it and save it in the filesystem.
How can I achieve this using PHP 5.3.
I am able to successfully decode the data using the base64_decode function.
How can I save this decoded string as a JPEG image in the server?
Thanks in advance.
If you are sure the image will always be jpg then you can simply use: file_put_contents();
<?php
$decoded=base64_decode($encodedString);
file_put_contents('newImage.JPG',$decoded);
//leave it to you to randomize the filename.
?>
Replacing the blank spaces with + signs is required if the data is derived from canvas.toDataURL() function.
$encodedString = str_replace(' ','+',$encodedString);
See this question
It helped a lot in my case.
