How to turn HTTP_POST_RAW_DATA into an image?

Question

I am receiving images from an iOS device, and from what I've learned here, I need to look for the raw post data with either $HTTP_POST_RAW_DATA or file_get_contents("php://input");

I can do that, but now I need to know what to do with the raw data, once I have it? My framework typically handles images that I have uploaded to a temporary folder from a web form...but this case is different.

How do I "upload" this data?

You could use createimagefromstring().

when using this, the example on that page does a base64 decode on the string first....would I need to do that? – johnnietheblack May 04 '11 at 23:50
@johnnie Nope, that's only because the source string is base 64 encoded to begin with. – alex May 04 '11 at 23:52
