gif images

mazsolt

hi,
is there any solution to work with gif images in php 4.3, with gd 2.0 ? I know that as of gd 1.7 there is no gif oriented function, but if I run phpinfo(), it writes in the gd section that the gif read support is enabled !!!

Can I read a gif image with any other function?

I had tried with imagecreatefromgd(), but I got an error message.

It's strange these gif-opposite, because getimagesize() or exif_imagetype() recognizes the .gif format

not yet... but rumors are that in july 2004 (i think it was july) the gif support will be added again... its an int'l © issue.

You might also try getting ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org

It's powerful, it's full-featured, but it isn't called directly from PHP, it must be run using exec() or backticks. (`)

In order to offset the penalty for resizing images with IM, I cache the results of a resized image on disk so that an image only needs to be resized once - with this I've never had performance problems despite dealing with a library of tens of thousands of various-sized images.
