Restore content file_get_content() function

I gave an image as a parameter to the file_get_content() function and received it as the output of a string. Now I want to do the opposite of this operation. What should I do?

Answer

You can write it back to an image file using file_put_contents

Example:

$pathToImage = '/images/test.png';
$newFile = '/images/test-new.png';


// Get the contents of the image file
$imgString = file_get_contents($pathToImage);

// Write it back to an image
file_put_contents($newFile, $imgString);

If you then look into your folder “images/”, there should be a new file called “test-new.png”
