Well, not exactly. My intension is not to hack any package (php/gd).
What I was thinking was that if users on my server is used to using
imagerotate() in their PHP-code, I must somehow deliver it to them. As I
saw gdImageCopyRotated() was available in libgd2-xpm, I figured I could
use that one instead. The thing is that that function and imagerotate() in
the bundled GD is not the same, which forces me to write a wrapper called
imagerotate() in PHP and say to the users; "If you want to use
imagerotate() you have to include this [rotatewrapper.php] file in your
php-document.
/* rotatewrapper.php */
function imagerotate(....) /* simulating the imagerotate() in bundled GD
{
.....
ImageCopyRotated(....) /* using gdImageCopyRotated() from libgd2-xpm in debian
....
}
However... gdImageCopyRotated doesn't seem to be available in PHP on
debiansystems despite the fact that php4-gd is using libgd2-xpm (in
which gdImageCopyRotated is available). As Jonas said earlier, maybe this is
because that particular function from libgd2-xpm isn't being "wrapped in
the PHP code". So I think my question to Adam Conrad is, why can't I use
gdImageCopyRotated from libgd2-xpm ? Is this intentional ? If so, why?
