HTML / PHP parse a file from memory to src - php

I call a PDF creator class FPDF through AJAX to create a PDF doc which I finally need to display as a preview in a separate browser window. I know that I can use this element:
echo '<embed src="'.$complete_path.'" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="'.MAX_HEIGHT.'px">';
But src refers to a filepath on disk as far as I know. I want to avoid storing a PDF file first on disk while its already created in memory. So my question is if there is a way to parse a given memory buffer to src and how to do that ?

If you are calling it via AJAX then the best way to do it is as suggested in comments, create a temporary file in server and return the URL to the client-side because you will need to do two requests, the AJAX request and another from the embed tag.
Even though, I think we are forgetting how HTTP works here. You can return a PDF file from a URL. Simply create an embed tag and set the src attribute to a script that will simply Output the contents of your FPDF object. Like this.
echo '<embed src="/path/to/script.php" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="'.MAX_HEIGHT.'px">';
And in the /path/to/script.php file you would put the PDF generation logic.
// Create FPDF instance, write content, ...
$FPDF->Output();

does this affect speed or should i go with normal method of displaying image

i am displaying an image usign readfile() function of php
HMTL:
<img src='image.php?id=232'/>
PHP: image.php
<?php
$id=$_GET["id"];
if(image_view_allow($id)){
$path=get_image_path($id);
readfile($path);
}else{
readfile("images/not_allow.png");
}
image_view_allow and get_image_path is two that i have defined to check validation and get path
I am doing this because i want show image only to the allow person.
Does this affect speed of downloading an image ?
what is normal(means direct path in src attribute of img tag) or trick that is shown above?
Just loading an image probably same,but it is always better if you handle images with php, because when you resize image with php you load the needed size. But with html you load the bigger size than you need and resize.
first -> Does this affect speed of downloading an image ?
answer: no, because when the page is loaded, the php code is already translated to html before page is loaded in the borwser.
second -> what is normal(means direct path in src attribute of img tag) or trick that is shown above?
answer: both are same as both involve php code. When code executes in either way it will enter the source of the image in the image tag.

Return and embed image with pure javascript , like php?

I'm having trouble figuring out if it's possible to embed an html or js document as an image, like so:
<img src="http://blah.com/image.js" />
or
<img src="http://blah.com/image.html" />
The general idea being that when the browser tries to access the file, it would execute the file clientside and get the actual image, and would then embed it as usual. I realize this can be done easily with PHP, but I'm looking for a non-server solution.
Problems being the content type it transfers as is wrong, and more importantly I think this violates every crossdomain and sandbox rule, to which I don't think there's any way around.
As long as the document you are linking to can display the binary data this will work.
Follow this article to solve the binary load with javascript, http://emilsblog.lerch.org/2009/07/javascript-hacks-using-xhr-to-load.html
Then you can also include base64 data in img tags like this

The src attribute must point to a URI that eventually results in actual image data. Perhaps you should consider leaving it blank and then creating a script that generates a data: URI and replaces it into the attribute.

Render HTML pages from private folder in PHP

I have a web site that have HTML pages stored in a private folder. I want a PHP script that can read the HTML file then push it to the browser.
My tought was to get the html file with the file() function in PHP. Then echo() it to the browser. That works for the html content of the page. The images and the css does not follow however.
I heard of a "render" function in IIS or ASP that render the HTML content of a web page in a private folder then send the images in a binary format. Does PHP have something similar?
Currently I read the file as follow :
$htmlFile = file(PATHTOFILE);
echo(implode('',$htmlFile));
The reason we are trying to do that is to protect the url / information of the pages contained in this folder. The user will have to connect to the web service, then the PHP script will push the html pages
You can use the tag base to solve the problem of the relative path of the files, something like this:
$html = file_get_contents($url);
$html = str_replace('<head>', '<head><base href="FULL PATH OF DIR" />', $html);
echo $html;
CSS and images are not displayed because their paths in the HTML files is relative to HTML files, right? And if you have these CSS and images in the same private folder, how can you hope the user will fetch them?
Indirect, you should fetch CSS and images the same way you do with HTML. But this means you have to replace all paths in your displayed HTML, that is quite absurd. In fact, we are talking about some kind of proxy now... ?!?!?
Why you need it?
Anyway echo(file_get_contents($htmlFile)); is less stressful.
Another option if it is an <img /> tag and the image is also stored outside of the root you can just make the src= attribute as so:
src="get_image.php?file=thisfile.png" // add a $_GET if needed to distinguish files
then get_image.php:
$file = $_GET['file'];
// security checks if you wish
header(sprintf("Content-type: %s;",'image/png'));
readfile($file);
exit;

How to embed a graph (jpgraph) in a web-page

I am using this script which is one of the examples provided by jpgraph itself. When I put this on a web-page (blank) by itself, it's drawing the graph. But when I embed the code in already existing web-page (with some content), it ain't drawing a graph.
GD is already enabled according to phpinfo(). Iam using jpgraph 3.5.0b1.
The problem is that you are mixing HTML/text output with image output.
Any time you have a PHP script generate graphical content you have to handle the output differently than normal HTML or text.
There are a few routes, I'll cover them briefly here.
Save the output to a file and use that filename in your HTML
//replace this line:
// Display the graph
//$graph->Stroke();
// with these lines:
// Default is PNG so use ".png" as suffix
$fileName = "/tmp/imagefile.png";
$graph->img->Stream($fileName);
.. then use $filename in an image tag, like this (for example):
print '<img src="'.$filename.'" />';
Create a standalone PHP script that will output the graphic
You can use the example script as-is, alone in a file called graph_render_script.php. Then, in your HTML, you use that script as a source:
<img src="graph_render_script.php" />
Output base-64 encoded data
Another route is to use base-64 encoded image data. This is relatively simple to do:
print '<img src="data:image/png;base64,'.base64_encode($graph->Stroke()).'" />';
As always, the documentation should be your guide!
Documentation
http://jpgraph.net/download/manuals/chunkhtml/ch05s05.html
base64_encode - http://php.net/manual/en/function.base64-encode.php
This worked for me:
putting the php code that generates the image in a file...Then on my html page I do this:
<img src="graph.php" >
embedding the graph inline is indeed possible. You'll have to use output buffering to capture the image data, then base64 encode that data, then use that base64-encoded string as the source in an <img>.
Try something like this:
$img = $graph->Stroke(_IMG_HANDLER);
ob_start();
imagepng($img);
$imageData = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

ceejayoz made an excellent point in that this method is almost never what you want. I do not recommend embedding the image data like this unless you have a good reason to do so and understand the downsides, i.e. older browsers lack support for it, and the page size is dramatically increased (not only from the image data but the fact the image data is base64 encoded, which balloons the length). I've used this method in the field myself on a project last year, but it was only because the client refused to make a second request for the image.
But when I embed the code in already existing web-page (with some content), it ain't drawing a graph.
You can't do that - you can't output an image as raw binary data within a page.
You need to put the code that generates the graph in a separate file, and use an image tag.
<img src="path/to/jpgraph/chart.php" />
The graph needs to be on its own page, you can't embed it. It outputs a raw JPG and you need to have no other content sent and have the proper headers to tell the browser it's a JPG. To embed the graph you'd make a different page called stats.php for example, and on that page you'd make an image tag pointing to the stand alone graph.
<img src=graph.php>
I've had this problem many times, I've noticed it happens when you have require() or include() in your Chart's script and those scripts have Data Base connections or special configurations.
I've solved this problem separating the data retrieving and the Chart drawing, passing parameters to the script or using SESSIONS to get the values.
Example of Embed image Chart in your PHP or HTML file:
<img src="linear_graph_customer.php?values=1,2,3,4|1,2,3,4|1,2,3,4&title=CHART&width=500&height=300" width="500" height="300" class="img" />

Loading php pages with jquery

Loading an external php file with jquery is actually easy. I simply use the load() event.
Like this:
$("#someelement").load('somepage.php');
Typically it's just fine, until I use the image manipulation functions.
Here's what I put inside somepage.php
<?php
$img = 'tmp/someimage.png';
$img = imagecreatefrompng($img);
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($img);
?>
When somepage.php is loaded, I get messy code back. (which I'm not sure what it would be considered)
I'm pretty sure there's a limitation to loading complicated image functions, but I thought I'd ask if there's a workaround.
As #onteria_ pointed out, .load() isn't for image data. It's for HTML.
You will have to create an <img /> tag, set its src= attribute, and then append it to your element:
$('body').append($('<img id="someelement" />').attr('src', 'somepage.php'));
If you want to print an image, just append <img src="somepage.php" /> where you want with jQuery.
Since you are trying to load the file like a text, jQuery trying to get the contents of it. Loading an executed php file that echoes texts is one thing, printing images is another.
