PHP - get base64 img string decode and save as jpg (resulting empty image )

AFAIK, You have to use image function imagecreatefromstring, imagejpeg to create the images.

$imageData = base64_decode($imageData);
$source = imagecreatefromstring($imageData);
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $angle, 0); // if want to rotate the image
$imageSave = imagejpeg($rotate,$imageName,100);
imagedestroy($source);

Hope this will help.

PHP CODE WITH IMAGE DATA

$imageDataEncoded = base64_encode(file_get_contents('sample.png'));
$imageData = base64_decode($imageDataEncoded);
$source = imagecreatefromstring($imageData);
$angle = 90;
$rotate = imagerotate($source, $angle, 0); // if want to rotate the image
$imageName = "hello1.png";
$imageSave = imagejpeg($rotate,$imageName,100);
imagedestroy($source);

So Following is the php part of your program .. NOTE the change with comment Change is here

    $uploadedPhotos = array('photo_1','photo_2','photo_3','photo_4');
     foreach ($uploadedPhotos as $file) {
      if($this->input->post($file)){                   
         $imageData = base64_decode($this->input->post($file)); // <-- **Change is here for variable name only**
         $photo = imagecreatefromstring($imageData); // <-- **Change is here**

        /* Set name of the photo for show in the form */
        $this->session->set_userdata('upload_'.$file,'ant');
        /*set time of the upload*/
        if(!$this->session->userdata('uploading_on_datetime')){
         $this->session->set_userdata('uploading_on_datetime',time());
        }
         $datetime_upload = $this->session->userdata('uploading_on_datetime',true);

        /* create temp dir with time and user id */
        $new_dir = 'temp/user_'.$this->session->userdata('user_id',true).'_on_'.$datetime_upload.'/';
        if(!is_dir($new_dir)){
        @mkdir($new_dir);
        }
        /* move uploaded file with new name */
        // @file_put_contents( $new_dir.$file.'.jpg',imagejpeg($photo));
        imagejpeg($photo,$new_dir.$file.'.jpg',100); // <-- **Change is here**

      }
    }
