First I must mention that my programming skills isn't adequate for me to port/implement the imagerotate() in libgd. I wish I could thou. =) I've done some research and I've found gdImageCopyRotated() in libgd [1], but it does not seem to be accessible within PHP [2]. Why? If I have understood this correctly, PHP is using libgd2-xpm instead of the bundled one, and gdImageCopyRotated() is available in libgd2-xpm, so why isn't it accessible from PHP? I was thinking I could write my own imagerotate() (in PHP) as a wrapper for gdImageCopyRotated(). This seems like the easiest way for me to be able to use a compatible imagerotate() and still enjoy the wonders of APT (i.e. using libgd2-xpm istead of the bundled GD which "isn't available" on debiansystems.) /Reine [1] http://www.boutell.com/gd/manual2.0.33.html#copying (scroll down a bit) [2] get_defined_functions(); // PHP - prints all defined functions. But imagecopyrotated() isn't listed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
