#13960 [Com]: ImageCreateFromJPEG doesn't work with URLs

ID: 13960 Comment by: midg3t@mail.com Reported By: S.G.Spencer@warwick.ac.uk Status: Closed Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I have the same problem. I am using PHP 4.2.2 (SAPI, not CGI) with Apache 1.3.26 on Windows 2000. Whether I use GD 1 or 2 (the versions supplied with PHP 4.2.2) there is still a problem reading JPEGs from URLs.

Could you please try with some external jpg? ie. Not on localhost? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-06 14:36:41] S.G.Spencer@warwick.ac.uk The following code should give me the image served by my webcam server: $cam = ImageCreateFromJPEG('http://localhost:69/'); imagejpeg($cam); But instead gives me: Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg: Unable to open 'http://localhost:69/' for reading in c:\program files\apache\htdocs\webcam\cam.php If, however, I create a local copy of the output of the server, like this: $in = fopen('http://localhost:69/','rb'); $out = fopen('tempcam.jpg','wb'); while ( !feof($in) ) { $temp = fread ($in, 4096); fwrite($out,$temp); } fclose ($in); fclose($out); and then use ImageCreateFromJPEG on that file instead of the URL, it works perfectly. Therefore, ImageCreateFromJPEG doesn't re-use the fopen code correctly (as it should and is hinted to by the manual page saying that ImageCreateFromJPEG can open files or URLs). Bug 6825 seems to be similar, but for PHP 4.0.2. The bug was closed as it was allegedly fixed, but now seems to have re-surfaced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13960&edit=1
