Apologies, I should have looked up those functions to see exactly what
you were suggesting.

I'll try something like this:

$myFileAsString = file_get_contents("myFile.jpg");
$image = imagecreatefromstring($myFileAsString);

$width = imagesx($image);
$height = imagesy($image);

for ($i=0; $i < $width; $i++) {
for ($r=0; $r < height; $r++) {
$rgb = imagecolorat($image, $width, $height)
echo $rgb;
}
}
