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)

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?

Then I suspect you have a syntax error in your code. Ensure you have
these in your php.ini file:

error_reporting =E_ALL
display_errors= on

That will display any errors you might have.

I have just had a closer look at the $rtf_image1 variable and there
are bits that are not so seemingly random, for instance
{\\nonshppict
{\pict
\picscalex16\pi cscaley16\piccr opl0\piccropr0\ piccropt0\piccr opb0\picw30771\ pich12144\picwg oal17445\pichgo al6885\wmetafil e8\bliptag-1510104784\blip upi96{\*
\blipuid a5fda1307ee8203 3d2d3fc13c6e4ef 09}

and

{\\nonshppict
{\pict
\picscalex100\p icscaley100\pic cropl0\piccropr 0\piccropt0\pic cropb0\picw2120 \pich2108\picwg oal1202\pichgoa l1195\wmetafile 8\bliptag155676 3328\blipupi200 {\*
\blipuid 5cca52c0fb15340 0d9ec103ffae2d7 3f}

appears within this variable

any ideas?

Again - what does phpinfo say about your error settings?

If you are going to quote 100 lines of text to give a one line reply -
do you think you could start to top post your replys .

If you are going to quote 100 lines of text to give a one line reply -
do you think you could start to top post your replys .

And if you're going to give useless responses - just don't.

But then you wouldn't have anything to say.

It was a *good* advice. by cutting the quoted text just to what is
relevant, you are helping others to read your posts.

fixed it!

i was looking too much into the php side of things, it wasn't encoded
at all. all the variable was was the code of the image section of the
rtf file.

So all i had to do was edit the rtf with a new image, work out which
bit of the rtf code was the image, and copy it over to the php file,
replacing the variable.
Thanks for the help everyone!

[salmanjavaheri]

also i had to change the \nonshppict part, to \\nonshppict, I guess
because php ignores \ unless they are double
