Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi

I want to ask everybody is it possible to send images using header() function




header("Content-type: ".$ContentType);

header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.$filename.'"');

and only show that image in web page


<img src=......../>

and how we can do it ?

Thank you

:-*

I remember that phpThumb is doing that so here’s the code they use to send images on the fly. The code is in the show() method. I guess it is a good start: https://github.com/masterexploder/PHPThumb/blob/master/src/GdThumb.inc.php#L956

I am sorry for confusing you :)

I ment that I once created this extension: http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/ephpthumb which is a wrapper for phpThumb. phpThub provides you with a show() method that is exactly doing what you want. You could write an action in Yii that is using the show() method to directly output an image (as a preview before it is saved etc.). The code would look like this:


public function actionShowImage($fileName)

{

    $thumb=Yii::app()->phpThumb->create('../images/'.$fileName);

    $thumb->show();

}

Hope it helps

ah yeah, got you, but actually i’m using couchDB and the image is already there. and when i rend this image using the rendrer method as follow




public function render($filename, $die=true) {

		

	header("Content-type: ".$this->getContentType($filename));

	header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.$filename.'"');

	echo($this->getBinary($filename));

		

	}

the problem is the image is sent as attachment and it shows only the image in the browser, so i need to use that image in <img/> tag.
