RE: [PHP] I-worm/Klez and a GIF query/question
-Original Message- From: r [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 04, 2002 2:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] I-worm/Klez and a GIF query/question I understand that the new version of PHP/GD or whatever does not support GIF and i also know for PNG or JPEG i can use LIBJPEG and LIBPNG (both are installed on my webhost) but how do i do it in GIF? (He insists on GIF- the clients a ##@ his money helps pay the bills) Well, this is a kind of question PHP people would like not to be asked :-) because they are not able to make it for free (because of somebody else)... What you could do, is to produce ten digits [0..9] icons as gifs using commercial software and then display them randomly using the best PHP script :-) Maciek -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You would be better off finding out what the reasons are behind the request for GIFs only. I can't think of a single reason they could give against which I couldn't argue a case for an alternative. -- Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Then copy the GIFs into a PNG file and display that. Still using GIFs (cuz that's what the guy wants) but displaying PNG. - Original Message - From: Stuart Dallas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Maciej Uhlig [EMAIL PROTECTED]; r [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 2:01 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] I-worm/Klez and a GIF query/question On 3 May 2002 at 21:51, Maciej Uhlig wrote: What you could do, is to produce ten digits [0..9] icons as gifs using commercial software and then display them randomly using the best PHP script :-) The only problem with that is that it would be pretty easy for a script to parse the page and pull out the images being used.

There are browsers that are still in somewhat common use that cannot gracefully display PNGs. Try IE 4.5 on a Mac, for instance. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

In that case, use JPEGs, or am I missing something? -- Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
