Bug #73389 [NEW]: imagecreatefromstring or imagecreatefromjpeg returns NULL

From: jgeert1 at its dot jnj dot com Operating system: Windows Server 2008 R2 PHP version: Next Minor Version Package: GD related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:imagecreatefromstring or imagecreatefromjpeg returns NULL Description: ------------ I'm using PHP version 5.5.38 (64-bit) on Windows and I'm unable to use the imagecreatefromstring or imagecreatefromjpeg functions. I always get NULL as a result while I expected a image resource id or false (if it would fail). I've run phpinfo and noticed that GD is full supported. I checked all logfiles, eventlogs, but I couldn't find any errors. I tried it with several jpg-files (small, medium, large), bit I was unable to load them with the functions. The memory limit is set to 2048, so that can't be the issue. Any idea what's missing here? Test script: --------------- $image = imagecreatefromjpeg('photo.jpg'); var_dump($image); Expected result: ---------------- false or a image resource Actual result: -------------- NULL -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73389&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73389&r=mysqlcfg
