I would look at the content-type of the results/data you get back. I would save each file with there respective type (.jpg, .bmp) then reference the saved file in you PHP code.

According to the PHRETS documentation for GetObject, the last argument in GetObject, $location, can either be a "0" or "1". "1" returns the image's URL string and "0" returns the binary image data.

#1 Encoding the image data and outputting to browser without saving to a file. From this SO question

$photos = $rets->GetObject("Property", "Photo", $sysid, "*", 0);
foreach ($photos as $photo) 
{

    if ($photo['Success'] == true) 
    {
        $contentType = $photo['Content-Type'];
        $base64 = base64_encode($photo['Data']); 
        echo "<img src='data:{$contentType};base64," . $base64 . "' />";
    }
    else 
    {
        echo "({$photo['Content-ID']}-{$photo['Object-ID']}): {$photo['ReplyCode']} = {$photo['ReplyText']}<br />";
    }

}

#2 Saving the image to a file and then displaying it. From PHRETS

$photos = $rets->GetObject("Property", "Photo", $sysid, "*", 0);
foreach ($photos as $photo) 
{

    if ($photo['Success'] == true) 
    {
        file_put_contents("image-{$listing}-{$number}.jpg", $photo['Data']);
        echo "<img src='image-{$listing}-{$number}.jpg' />";
    }
    else 
    {
        echo "({$photo['Content-ID']}-{$photo['Object-ID']}): {$photo['ReplyCode']} = {$photo['ReplyText']}<br />";
    }

}

I am using http://otw.rets.interealty.com Ottawa Real Estate Board. Do you know how to do pagination in this? "Limit" => "10" is working but "Offset" is not working — Minu, Nov 02 '14 at 17:46
@Minu - Check with your RETS server as offset may not be supported by your RETS server. If my post answered your question please mark it as answered. — Andrew Briggs, Nov 03 '14 at 00:44

There's some good information in these answers already.

To address your later question, the Interealty server does not support pagination. To use Key Index, you must:

1) use RETS/1.7.2 or later 2) specify Limit => NONE in your SearchRequest 3) give only key index identified fields in your Select parameter within the SearchRequest

If you get those 3 things right, the server should suspend its records-per-response limit.
