From: "Torkil Johnsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: How do I check GD version? To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Cheers all... This mail got rather long, so here are my 3 questions in a short version: 1) What is GD? (fore use with imagecopyresampled function) 2) How can I run a function that will tell me what version of GD is installed on my server, if any version at all? 3) Anyone know of some good hosts out there which has got all of this under control? (basically people who has a clue about what they're doing) ==================== Hello Torkil I face same problem. I tried to make a thumbnail function by analyzing directly string of image, but this is not single task, specially for JPG images. I also buy my site and pay monthly, but I prefer no to trust on GD and other features because these people who sell sites often change PHP features and disables/enables apache / mysql / php parameters crashing entirely my sites. Then to convince them that they should restart disabled features pass some weeks. My customers don't want to know about these problems. I still dream some clever people (and charitative one!) already developed a function like $mythumb = thumbnail($image,new-size,new-size) then $mythumb will carry binary string for image (no file names of course because my images are stored into blob fields), and I hope someday to discover these function. I often search for some C++ routine, so it could be translated to PHP, but also none found. It appears this dream is over. I will continue to work in this problem as longer as I can.
