I agree–I need to refer to the PHP manual. I also need to learn more basic programming concepts. I do appreciate you getting me on track here. I have been able to replicate all 3 examples from this page on my server: Get Started with Blockfrost | Cardano Developer Portal.
Do you know how I can display an image from IPFS? In their example for spacecoins, I have the following code:
echo "<hr noshade><p><strong>On-Chain Metadata -> Image :</strong></p><img src=\"";
echo htmlspecialchars($parsedJson->onchain_metadata->image);
echo "\">";
The following $parsedJson->onchain_metadata->image will return:
ipfs://Qmc44D9d8oaj38TtrXKXPYyWKpyPButDQtA9pVjBtb1qYV
Since ipfs is a protocol that web browsers do not process, is there a way to convert this URL to an http or https that will actually store and display an image?
