I have php code which create pdf thumbnail as follows;
<?php
$file ="test.pdf";
$im = new imagick(realpath($file).'[0]');
$im->setImageFormat("png");
$im->resizeImage(200,200,1,0);
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
$thumbnail = $im->getImageBlob();
echo $thumbnail;
?>
Which is working well. But if I want to display the image in a web page, I have to use <img src=""> tag. Is there any way to remove header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
from the syntax and echo image using <img src="">..? Or anybody tell me how to use the syntax to display the image inside a web page.
I am running apache with php5 in my Windows Vista PC..

With Imagick, you could use base64 encoding:
echo '<img src="data:image/jpg;base64,'.base64_encode($img->getImageBlob()).'" alt="" />';`
However, this method is kind a slow and therefore I recommend generating and saving the image earlier $img->writeImage($path).

Embedding an image using base64 is a COMPLETELY wrong way to go about the problem esp. with something stateless like a php web script.
You should instead use http parameters to have a single php file which can perform two tasks - the default will send html , and the parameter will instruct the php file to print the image. Below is the "standard" way to do it -
<?php
if (!array_key_exists('display',$_GET))
{
print('<html><head></head><body><img src="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?display=image"></body></html>');
} else
{
// The display key exists which means we want to display an image
$file ="test.pdf";
$im = new imagick(realpath($file).'[0]');
$im->setImageFormat("png");
$im->resizeImage(200,200,1,0);
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
$thumbnail = $im->getImageBlob();
echo $thumbnail;
}
?>
