What alternative methods or functions could be used to export a single image to a CSV file in PHP?

One alternative method to export a single image to a CSV file in PHP is to encode the image data as base64 and then write it to the CSV file. This way, the image data can be easily stored and retrieved from the CSV file when needed.

<?php
// Get image data
$imageData = file_get_contents('image.jpg');

// Encode image data as base64
$base64Image = base64_encode($imageData);

// Write base64 image data to CSV file
$csvData = array($base64Image);
$fp = fopen('image.csv', 'w');
fputcsv($fp, $csvData);
fclose($fp);
?>
