Warning question

[hingis_rules]

Why am I getting this when I'm trying to creat thumbnails of .GIF files?

Warning: ImageCreateFromGif: No GIF support in this PHP build in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/t/functions2.php on line 12

Thanks

I think you can check phpinfo(), but another way mentioned by the PHP Manual is:

<?php
if (imagetypes() & IMG_GIF)
	echo 'GIF support exists';
else
	echo 'No GIF support';
?>

If there's no gif support, then use something else, like jpg or png that exists.
GD support exists, right?

Hi,

I assume that you use gd 2.x ? GIF support has been removed from the gdlib due to patent issues. The only way is to downgrade to an older version of gd or to use a patched gd library. But you make break laws by doing this (at least if you don't have a license)

according to phpinfo() from phpMyAdmin the version of gd that's installed is 1.6.2 or higher.

Is there another way to create thumbnails from GIFS without using gd??
