 New Comment:

I intend to use this script to store mutiple image files in a database
or in one compressed file. If anyone knows of a better way to
accomplish this task, I would appriciate it if you could tell me.

p.s. I am aware that using base64_encode will not result in a
compressed file.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system
is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

On windows you need to open binary files with 'rb' not 'r'. 
If you still experience the problem even after changing the fopen flags
try using the latest CVS snapshot.

The following PHP script is stable on *NIX platforms but unstable on
Win32 platorms.

<?php
$LineLength = 50;

$uploadfile = 'PATH TO IMAGE';
$uploadfile_name = 'PATH TO IMAGE';

$fd = fopen ($uploadfile, "r");
$size = filesize ($uploadfile);
$c = substr ("$uploadfile_name", strrpos ($uploadfile_name, ".") + 1
);
$cont = fread ($fd, $size);
fclose ($fd);
$encimg = base64_encode ($cont);
$imgcode = chunk_split ("$encimg", $LineLength, "'.'"); 
print $imgcode;
?>
