Make image data from REST API viewable

I am making a GET request to a REST API using PHP to call an image. In the response body, I get something like this:

ÿØÿàJFIF`ÿÛC $.' ",#(7),01444'9=82<.342ÿÛC

Assuming the context is an HTML document, use an <img /> tag to display the response in your document. Set its src attribute to the URI of the script that requests the image:

<img src="/path/to/image.php?id=..." />

In your PHP script, you will simply want to echo the binary image data after setting the appropriate headers (covered in Gordon's answer).

Send the appropriate image header. Check the Content-Type header to see what format it is. In case this is not the image binary but compressed content, run it through gzuncompress first.
