html - get base64 php string into img tag

Question

Ive got a php file 'get.php' that echo's a base64 string.

How would i display this as an image in another .php page?

something like this:

<img src="get.php?id=$lastid">

thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

<img src="data:image/png;base64,BASE64STRING">

but if you BASE64STRING is the output of a php, then something like this would work:

<img src="data:image/png;base64, <?php include 'get.php?id=$lastid' ?>>

I know it may not be exactly but I hope you get the idea
