imagecreatefromjpg with images from db??

[Rainer Collet]

hi!

how can i use imagecreatefrom jpg if my images are stored in a database and
not in the filesystem? imagecreatefrom jpg wants to have a filename. but i
have only the binarycode of the image in a string. has anybody a solution
simpler than storing the binarycode to a temp-file first?

thanks,
rainer

Use imagecreatefrom string():

Nope, you have to know which content type .. but you obviously already
knew it was a JPG :)
