Error in displaying base64 encoded string as image in browser?

Question

I am working on a website for a friend which takes in a signature from a wacom STU-300 signature tablet, to then be placed in the database. (as any data type as long it is readable, I tried BLOB and varchar). After checking the documentation I found out that there is a method where you can retrieve the data as a base64 encoded string after taking the signature. This is an example I printed from a signature after extracting the base64 encoded string:

Edit: Thanks vjdhama for removing the spaces now it does come up as a valid base64 string however I am still not able to convert this back into an image file. When I tried decoding this back into an image using the base64 decoder at WUtils, it comes up as

FS�BECT$    
8" '���3�i�|I�3�\��nϠ�T�{��wE��CWHO " p��2��z�zg�X��Lj�i3��9��J�bT4$

instead of an image. I need to display the base64 encoded string in image form in the browser with php .

Answer 1

To check for validity of string we could use this regex

var base64 = new RegExp("^(?:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{4})*(?:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{2}==|[A-Za-z0-9+/]{3}=|[A-Za-z0-9+/]{4})([=]{1,2})?$");

Just test your string by

base64.test(str);

You can read more here : RegEx to parse or validate Base64 data

UPDATE:

You can also decode data using window.atob(str) web api method.
