    image in XML file

    I've some XML files used to update my datas in my database/server.

    I've got how to retrieve all datas between xml tags, but I'm stuck when I've
    to retrieve images datas:

    <DATAS>
    .....
    <PICTURES number=3 encoded=0> //0 is for plain jpg, 1 is for CDATA
    Base64 string
    <PIC name=pic1344_1. jpg number=1>
    .....
    </PIC>
    </PICTURES
    </DATAS>

    how to save the image on the server ?

      put your base64 string inside a cdata tag
      <pic>
      <![CDATA[
      ....insert base64 string here...
      ]]>
      </pic>

          The CDATA tag already exists. My problem is what to do with it !

          Do I have to put the base64 string in a $variable then save it in a file,
          most probably I must decode the base64 string....my problem is once I
          encounter this tag, what should I do !

          I've looked in php.net and google, but couldn't find any answer.

          Bob

              After reading the characters within the PIC tag (btw, why are all your
              tags uppercase?) into a $variable, you may need to decode it (look at your
              encoded attribute of the PICTURES tag). At this point, you have the image
              data and file name. Open a file output stream, set the binary mode on the
              stream, write the image data, then close the stream (this should
              automatically flush the stream).

              HTH,
