Bug #17912 Updated: getting info from gd.so

ID: 17912 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: tit.petric@telemach.net Status: Bogus Bug Type: GD related Operating System: linux debian/mandrake PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Why do you want the version? Isn't it the capabilities you are interested in? imagetypes() would give you that. The version tells you next to nothing since every version of GD can be compiled differently. ie. with or without ttf, png, jpg, gif, etc. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-21 16:16:53] tit.petric@telemach.net hmm in phpinfo() in the gd section the module info says gd 1.6.2 or higher, and i jumped to conclusion that this is what the module itself supports (since i have gd1.9.something), and didnt check if there is a seperate module for gd2 (which i doubt there is, meaning the version reply should stay the same or am i wrong?) is there any way to get this number without having to parse/grep phpinfo(), something like a variable $IMG_* (nothing acctual system-level listed in there yet) p.s. congrats on the baby rasmus (a bit late, but better than never :)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-21 15:57:41] rasmus@php.net phpinfo() does show the GD version. Between versions 1.6 and 1.8 there was no way to distinguish, so it is approximate, but other versions should be shown just fine. As for figuring out which image types are available, use imagetypes() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-21 15:54:39] tit.petric@telemach.net im having trouble determinating to which version of GD gd.so was linked to, phpinfo() only shows the acctual version of gd.so, but not the version of GD it was linked to.. some variable to show the acctual gd version (major and minor) would be nice, so i and other people would know how to dynamically use image* functions according to that variable, because setting up each server with platform-dependant code is a bit time consuming, and coding two different image libraries or graphing libraries which use GD is also a waste of time, if just a few functions change their names and behaviour. example would be.. if ($GD_VERSION=='1') { imagecopyresized(...); } else { imagecopyresampled(...); } be a sweetheart and add that :* (otherwise excelent work) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17912&edit=1
