How to convert image path to base64 encode data using PHP

Question

I need to convert the image URL to base64_encode data using PHP. I am explaining my code below.

<?php
$path='https://www.jquery-az.com/html/images/banana.jpg';
$type = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$data = file_get_contents($path);
$base64=base64_encode($data);
print_r($base64);exit;
?>

Here I am getting the blank output. Please help me to resolve this issue.

I have changed the original path. In my case path is correct. — user5443928

The above code returns the result in base64_encoding format. I don't get what's the error. Enable your error log. Blank page is never "blank" there are errors that are hidden there. — pr1nc3

Here's code to convert image to base64 format

        $path='http:\/\/abcd.com\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/\/m\/i\/mi-l32m5-ai.jpeg';
        $type = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        $data = file_get_contents($path);
        $base64 = 'data:image/' . $type . ';base64,' . base64_encode($data);
        echo $base64;

your code is working for me. I suppose the error is that in php.ini is disallowed to open remote urls: http://php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen set it to true

add this line and check for error message

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

$path='https://www.jquery-az.com/html/images/banana.jpg';
$type = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$data = file_get_contents($path);
$base64=base64_encode($data);
print_r($base64);exit;

Please use the unescaped url in $path variable,

<?php    
$path='http://abcd.com/pub/media/catalog/product//m/i/mi-l32m5-ai.jpeg';

Try this code. It will help you.

According to his question, he needs to encode the image path. First, check if the image exists, if yes then encode its path .

$path = 'your-file-path';
$file = 'your-file';
$image_with_path = $path.'/'.$file;
if(file_exists($image_with_path)){
    $base64 = base64_encode($image_with_path );
}
