How can base64 encoding be utilized to transport images via SOAP in PHP?

To transport images via SOAP in PHP, you can encode the image data using base64 encoding before sending it as a SOAP message. This ensures that the image data is properly transferred without any loss or corruption during the SOAP communication. 

// Read the image file
$imageData = file_get_contents('image.jpg');

// Encode the image data using base64
$encodedImageData = base64_encode($imageData);

// Send the encoded image data via SOAP
$client = new SoapClient("http://example.com/soap.wsdl");
$client->sendImage($encodedImageData);
