transfer image, another method (alternative to fsockopen or function socket) :
server(192.168.0.1)
makeimage.php
...........
...........
$nameimage="xxxx.jpg"
$comand=exec("plotvelocity.sh $nameimage $paramater1 $paramater2");
ob_start();
readfile($nameimage);
$image_data = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo $image_data;
unlink($nameimage);
Client (192.168.0.2)
$bild="images/newimage2.gif";
$host="192.168.0.1";
$url=file_get_contents("http://$host/makeimage.php?$querystring");
$fp = fopen("$bild", 'wb');
fwrite($fp, $url);
fclose($fp);
echo '<img src="'.$bild.'">';
naturally you can transfer whichever thing and not only images
if you use ob_start with a callback function as a parameter, and that function changes ob string (as in example in manual) don't expect that ob_get_contents will return changed ob.
it will work as you would use ob_start with no parameter at all. So don't be confused.
This is an example of how the stack works:
<?php
//Level 0
ob_start();
echo "Hello ";
//Level 1
ob_start();
echo "Hello World";
$out2 = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
//Back to level 0
echo "Galaxy";
$out1 = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
//Just output
var_dump($out1, $out2);
?>
i made a simple test which is faster: adding some text in the normal way or by the ob stack:
<?php
$start = microtime(true);
$var = '';
for($i=0 ; $i <= 1000000 ; $i++) {
$var .= ' ';
}
$middle = microtime(true);
ob_start();
for($i=0 ; $i <= 1000000 ; $i++) {
echo ' ';
}
$var = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$end = microtime(true);
echo $middle - $start;
echo '<br />';
echo $end - $middle;
?>
Outputs something like this:
0.33658003807068
0.30778789520264
The ob_get_contents() function has different return behaivor in PHP 5.3.x and PHP 5.5.x. Take a look at very simple example for PHP 5.3
<?php
var_dump(ob_get_contents());
?>
Output: bool(false)
but in PHP 5.5.x, the same php code will return:
Output: string (0) ""
Actually, we can use type regulation - intval(ob_get_contents()), for cheking On/Off output buffering, but it lays the possible problems in the future.
Note that, unlike PHP variables which make efficient use of memory, getting the contents of the output buffer results in a new copy of the buffer being made. This can end up massively increasing the memory requirements of your script if your output is large.
Example code:
<?php
print(memory_get_usage() . "<br>");
ob_start();
for ($i = 0; $i < 5000000; $i++)
print(" ");
print(memory_get_usage() . "<br>");
$foo = ob_get_contents();
print(memory_get_usage() . "<br>");
ob_end_flush();
?>
