Animated GIFs in PHP...

[Unknown_Striker]

Hi all,

I have a feeling that this isn't actually possible, but would be extremely happy if someone could tell me otherwise.

Basically, I want to know if there is a way of creating animated GIFs using a PHP script? At the moment I have a script that generates an image and displays it on the screen, but I would like to have it animated, ie. generate 2 or more images, then combine them into a single (animated) GIF file and display to the user.

Is this possible? Some sort of library perhaps?

I'd appreciate any input on this.

Cheers,
C

GD no longer supports .gif or LZW compression. LZW is proprietary and owned by Unysis, which wants to license the algorithm.

So, far as I know, no it's not possible.
