So in previous blog post we talked about saving image to byte array in order to pass it to backend SOAP service. But how about retrieving such image from backend?

Well the logic is similar, so considering you have the byte array returned from SOAP, you will create new php file named image.php:

Recently I worked on integration between Drupal CMS with backend SOAP service and encountered a problem with saving image to the backend. The backend required image to be passed as byte array. Googling around I was suprised to find out answers like "I don't think PHP has such low level control..." or "change your backend service...". Eventually after not finding anything useful I decided to tackle the issue myself and soon I came up with a solution which is actually very easy.
