dynamically created image into string

[chotiwallah]

i have a dynamically created image represented by an imagehandler, but
i don't wanna output to the browser or a file. is it possible to read
that image directly into a string?

any help appreciated, micha

in case anyone faces a similar problem and is interested:

ob_start();
imagepng($ih);
$imagedata = ob_get_contents ();
ob_end_clean();

imagepng without an png-header just prints the image data as text in
the browser. so i buffer the output, read it into $imagedata, clean
out the bufer and end buffering

Can be done a line shorter with:
ob_start();
imagepng($ih);
$imagedata = ob_get_clean();
