PHP Data-URI to file

The data URI you have in your example is not a valid PNG image. This will never work and is unrelated to the code, it's related to the data.


Does not apply but might be of interest:

file_put_contents($_POST['logoFilename'], file_get_contents($data));

The idea behind: PHP itself can read the contents of data URIs (data://) so you don't need to decode it on your own.

Note that the official data URI scheme (ref: The "data" URL scheme RFC 2397) does not include a double slash ("//") after the colon (":"). PHP supports with or without the two slashes.

 # RFC 2397 conform
 $binary = file_get_contents($uri);

 # with two slashes
 $uriPhp = 'data://' . substr($uri, 5);
 $binary = file_get_contents($uriPhp);

A quick look at the PHP manual yields the following:

If you want to save data that is derived from a Javascript canvas.toDataURL() function, you have to convert blanks into plusses. If you do not do that, the decoded data is corrupted:

$encodedData = str_replace(' ','+',$encodedData);
$decodedData = base64_decode($encodedData);
