php解码base 64非常大的文件，不是字符串

Question

i have a system that saves files to the server harddrive in base 64 encoded after stripping them from email files.

i would like to change the file to thier original format again, how can i do that in php?

this is how i tried to save the files but that does not seem to create a valid files:

$start = $part['starting-pos-body'];
$end = $part['ending-pos-body'];
$len = $end-$start;
$written = 0;
$write = 2028;
$body = '';
while ($start <= $end) {
 fseek($this->stream, $start, SEEK_SET);
 $my = fread($this->stream, $write);
 fwrite($temp_fp, base64_decode($my));
 $start += $write;
}
fclose($temp_fp);

@traylz makes the point clear for why it may fail when it shouldn't. However, base64_decode() may fail for large images even. I have worked with 6 to 7 MB files fine, I haven't gone over this size, so for me it should be as simple as:

$dir = dirname(__FILE__);
// get the base64 encoded file and decode it
$o_en = file_get_contents($dir . '/base64.txt');
$d = base64_decode($o_en);

// put decoded string into tmp file
file_put_contents($dir . '/base64_d', $d);

// get mime type (note: mime_content_type() is deprecated in favour
// for fileinfo functions)
$mime = str_replace('image/', '.', mime_content_type($dir . '/base64_d'));
rename($dir . '/base64_d', $dir . '/base64_d' . $mime);

If the following fails try adding chunk_split() function to decode operation:

$d = base64_decode(chunk_split($o_en));

So what am I sayaing...forget the loop unless there is a need for it...keep the orignal file extension if you don't trust php's mime detection. use chunk_split() on base64_decode() operation if working on large files.

NOTE: all theory so untested

EDIT: for large files that mostly likely will freeze file_get_contents(), read in what you need, output to file so little RAM is used:

$chunkSize = 1024;
$src = fopen('base64.txt', 'rb');
$dst = fopen('binary.mime', 'wb');
while (!feof($src)) {
    fwrite($dst, base64_decode(fread($src, $chunkSize)));
}
