addImage base64 support?

[koosvanderkolk]

In my code I have the image as a base64 encoded string. Of course I can write it to a temp file and then add it to my Word-file with addImage, but wouldnt it be more efficient if I could immediately feed addImage with my string?

I did not really dive into the code, but the existence of the getImageStringData function seems to suggest that base64 encoding is already been used internally (http://phpoffice.github.io/PHPWord/docs/master/classes/PhpOffice.PhpWord.Element.Image.html).

Why in develop? Will it go to release?

[nicdnepr]

Also its not work, I try dev-master and dev-develop and get error
Invalid image: data:image/png;base64 in PhpWord/Element/Image.php 385

@nicdnepr I have the same problem (I've also tried dev-master and dev-develop). Have you been able to fix it?

[nicdnepr]

@padre No
I used url to return image

[padre]

@nicdnepr ok, thanks.

Theoretically it should work, but after trying for hours there's no way :-(

@troosan, have you ever managed to use an image as a base64 encoded string?

[troosan]

@padre @nicdnepr Indeed, it does not take a base64 string. I guess it should work if you first base64_decode your string and pass that to PHPWord.

@troosan Can confirm this dont work at all. Tried base64_decode as you suggested too and still nothing. Also tested my string online and its perfect and produces the image. Is there anyway we can add support for base64 encoded image?

either way i get a fatal error.

It works, if crop "data:image/png;base64," string from base64 code string, ex:
$find = strpos($file_contents, ';base64,'); if ($find !== false) { $file_contents= substr($file_contents, $find + 8); } $section->addImage(base64_decode($file_contents));
