Re: [PHP] GD library problem
This is funny: I have getimagesize(), but not createimage() and things like that. Is this because getimagesize() is not part of the GD library...? Or is there a problem with my GD library? getimagesize() is not part of GD. You likely didn't add the GD extension correctly to PHP. Also, is there any resolution to this GIF copyright thing going on with Unisys? I want to be able to resize images and whatnot, but I don't want to multiply image upload time by about 5 because I have to switch to JPG format. Is PNG format supported by older browsers? Incidentally, getimagesize() works on GIFs. I thought GIF format wasn't supported. The copyright issue really has nothing to do with PHP. Talk to the GD folks. It is not our decision. With the bundling of GD in 4.3 that changes a bit, but it only applies to generating gifs, not reading them. There are versions of GD out there that have jpg, png and gif all included. PHP supports these hacked versions. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm gonna have to try harder with GD. :) The copyright issue really has nothing to do with PHP. Talk to the GD folks. It is not our decision.

Re: [PHP] GD library problem
By the way, there is no createimage() function. It is called imagecreate(). And the only real news is that the Unisys patent expires in 2003, so we might be able to do something then. But GIF needs to die. It's a crappy format. PNG is well supported in all browsers. -Rasmus On Tue, 14 May 2002, Liam Gibbs wrote: getimagesize() is not part of GD.
