PHP get pdf file from base64 encoded data string

Question

I have a base64-encoded string containing a pdf. How to create a .pdf file from this encoded string using php?

Something like Content-type:application/pdf in header function?

this is the base64 encoded string

Answer 1

Try this piece of code

$pdf_base64 = "base64pdf.txt"; //Get File content from txt file $pdf_base64_handler = fopen($pdf_base64,'r'); $pdf_content = fread ($pdf_base64_handler,filesize($pdf_base64)); fclose ($pdf_base64_handler); //Decode pdf content $pdf_decoded = base64_decode ($pdf_content); //Write data back to pdf file $pdf = fopen ('test.pdf','w'); fwrite ($pdf,$pdf_decoded); //close output file fclose ($pdf); echo 'Done'; 

Answer 2

With this you can create and open the file... but maybe this is not the answer to the question

$data = base64_decode($this->Get(self::Body)); file_put_contents('file.pdf',$data); 

The answer is echo the content with a header :

$data = base64_decode($this->Get(self::Body)); header('Content-Type: application/pdf'); echo $data;
