embedded image?

[salmanjavaheri]

Hi we have a piece of php based (i think) software that exports to an
rtf file, these files contain an image, this image makes the rtfs too
large...so the solution is to reduce the quality/resolution of the
image being used.

The image appears to be embedded in a variable that is in alone in its
own php file (i'm 99% sure of this because i have tried editing the
actual images that are visible to windows and this makes no difference
to the exported rtf and also the size of the php file is almost the
same as the exported rtf files)
The php file in question starts like this
<?
$rtf_image1 = "5cca52c0fb1534 00d

and ends like

000
";

?>

All thats in between are numbers and letters, about 1.5mb worth, so
can't post them all...this is perhaps just the raw code of the image
file? I have tried to take this code and save it as a jpg/gif/png but
doesn't seem to show up as an image.

So basically, how can i edit/replace this image?

TIA

Try this function and save the result to a file:
<?php
$result = base64_decode($ rtf_image1);
?>
(take a look in the source code, perhaps it is used there, I just guess
that image has been encoded with base64_encode)

Thats the least of your worries - you need to work out what the format
if the image is (indeed if it is in a published format at all).

Sorry - but if you can't do the easy stuff you've not much hope of
getting the hard stuff done - certainly not without a lot more help
than you'll get in usenet postings.

Go find a good developer.

sod that i'll learn it myself, one more question before i go on my
quest, where's a good forum for complete newbie php questions? i've
just tried to do my first bit of what must be the simplest php and it
still didn't come out right (i thought i had followed the dummies
guide word for word)

This is as good a place as anywhere. Just make sure you have read the
relevant manual pages first and that you post good examples of what you
tried and precisely what went wrong.

Basically what happens is it takes a while for the page to load, and
then it is just a blank page, have used the echo function to display
the variable decoded. it does display something when i cut down the
code though, is it possible that it can't handle the amount of code
there is?

What do you see when you display the page source in your browser? Is it
possible you're getting a timeout?
