Any other way to create the image from hexadecimal number? I use a signature pad to get the signature and save it as an image and put in a PDF; I have created the image (*.PNG) from the hex code(signiture pad generates the HExadecimal number); the image seems fine (I can open it and see it!), but for some reason this image cannot be put in the PDF by FPDF; however I can put any other images to my PDF by using FPDF; so I guess there is a problem with the image I created (HEX to Image). I created my image by the following code:
$binary = pack("H*", $MyHex);
file_put_contents("../img/Sign_Representative.png", $binary);
Do you know any other way I can create the image from HEX or any way I can handle this problem?
I appreciate your guidance!
Are you sure that signature pad provides PNG-data in HEX?
Check generated file's content if the first row contains letters "PNG" (without quotes).
Tried yours and following and all provided data correctly back:
// test 1
$binary = pack("H" . strlen($MyHex), $MyHex);
file_put_contents("../img/Sign_Representative-1.png", $binary);
// test 2
$binary = hextobin($MyHex);
file_put_contents("../img/Sign_Representative-2.png", $binary);
// @src http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.hex2bin.php#110973
function hextobin($hexstr)
{
$n = strlen($hexstr);
$sbin="";
$i=0;
while($i < $n) {
$a =substr($hexstr,$i,2);
$c = pack("H*",$a);
if ($i == 0) {
$sbin = $c;
} else {
$sbin .= $c;
}
$i += 2;
}
return $sbin;
}
btw, what kind/model signature pad you have? i.e. Honeywell TT8500?
