Help with PHP Upload & Base64 Encode

Hey,

I want to upload an image and it to also base 64 encode it for back up.

I am using:

<?php
$rand = rand();
$target = '/home/example/public_html/images/small/'.$rand.'_' . basename( $_FILES['uploaded1']['name']) ; 
$ok=1; 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded1']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{$img_1 = 'yes';} 
else {$img_1 = 'no';} 
$img1_url = $target;
$img1_url = str_replace('/home/example/public_html/images/small/','http://example.com/images/small/',$img1_url);/*Replace Space With -*/
?>

PHP:

I need it to echo the base64 code so it can be used a back.

 

$encodedImg = base64_encode(imagecreatefromgif($img1_url));
echo($encodedImg);

PHP:

Something like that should work. Then if you want to use it in HTML you must change the <img src> to

echo '<img src="data:image/gif;base64,'.$encodedImg.' ">';

PHP:

 

Hi
What problem you are facing? You are not able to upload the image or not able to encode in base 64.
