Display image retreived from SOAP as BLOB data

[adilzcool]

Hi All ,
I am New to this Form i am working on project to consume Java Webservice from PHP (front end).i have posted the same topic in this forum yesterday but i thought the topic which is discussed here is relavent to mine. So i need to display an image sent from JWS (WSDL) mode in PHP. I have used diff methods in JWS to send the image viz as BLOB type or byte type. But unable to display it in PHP. It need to be decoded back to display which i am unable to do. Does PHP's current version has this capabilty or not??. Here is my code snippet of the soap Response genertated to be consumed in PHP.

stdClass Object
(
    [return] => stdClass Object
        (
            [photo] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [bytes] =>  Î

            [student_history] => Completed M.Tech from             [student_hobbies] => Eating, Chatting ,Sleeping etc ...
            [student_id] => 1
                   )
 
)
 

I am accessing this response thru this PHP code ::

$wsdl = "http://localhost:8084/webserviceproj/WebServicesService?wsdl";
$client = new soapclient($wsdl,array('trace' => 1));
$res=$client->__soapCall('studDetails', array('parameters' => $params));  
$variables = get_object_vars($res);
$keys = array_keys($variables);
$abc= $variables[$keys[0]]->photo;
 $aa = $abc->bytes;
 

so i need to display image from SOAP response. see i am sending either BLOB Datatype or byte from Java. Can any one help me out. thanks

Hi.

I've moved your question into it's own thread to avoid hijacking Hejman's thread.

If you want PHP to display an image, it must be done in a separate PHP document that has it's Content-Type set to an image type.

You need to get the binary data from your SOAP response into this separate PHP document and print it there.

One way would be to temporarily store the image data on your file-system so it could be accessed by the image PHP document.

For example:

<?php
# --
# index.php
#  This is the PHP document that
#  would receive the SOAP data
#  and display it.
# --
 
# Get the SOAP stuff
#  ... Insert code here
 
# Get the binary data into a temporary file
$tempDir = "myTemporaryFiles/";
$timeStamp = time() . mt_rand(100, 999);
$tempName = "tempImage_{$timeStamp}.tmp";
 
$data = $soapObj->photo->bytes;
 
file_put_contents($tempDir . $tempName, $data);
 
# Display the image
echo "<img src='showImage.php?ts={$timeStamp}' alt='' />";
?>
 

<?php
# showImage.php
#  This is the PHP that acutally
#  shows the image.
#  Browsers will consider this document
#  to be an JPEG Image, rather than HTML
# --
 
# Get the timeStamp sent via GET
if(!isset($_GET['ts']) or empty($_GET['ts'])) {
  die("Timestamp is missing or invalid");
}
else {
  $timeStamp = trim($_GET['ts']);
}
 
# Get the image data
$tempDir = "myTemporaryFiles/";
$tempName = "tempImage_{$timeStamp}.tmp";
$data = file_get_contents($timeDir . $tempName);
 
# Remove the temporary file
unlink($tempDir . $tempName);
 
# Set header and print data
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
echo $data;
?>

Hi,
I have tried to display it but it is not displaying image correctly . I am passing data from Java Webservice using BLOB Datatype . it is creating tmp file in the specified folder but is not converting back to image file. Can MTOM solve this problem. If there is any example using MTOM can u plz provide it thanks.
