#21630 [Opn]: imageCreateFromGIF doesn't work

ID: 21630 User updated by: steveh@brendata.co.uk Reported By: steveh@brendata.co.uk Status: Open -Bug Type: Documentation problem +Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Linux 2.4.20 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Here's one bit from the ChangeLog, I also saw it in the documentation somewhere as well. Added read-only GIF support for bundled GD2 library. (Rasmus) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-14 04:45:28] nicos@php.net It says: Note: Since all GIF support was removed from the GD library in version 1.6, this function is not available if you are using that version of the GD library. (nothing about read or write which is right because the function is just not supported) but it says nothing about the gd bundled version, I'm fixing that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-14 04:40:14] steveh@brendata.co.uk I think the documentation states that read only is supported, but not write? I'll go and find the reference, maybe this is a documentation issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-14 04:38:24] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php bundled GD doesn't support GIF due to patent issues. Not a bug -> bogus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-14 04:36:00] steveh@brendata.co.uk I'm not sure what else I can provide? The system was built usign the standard bundled gd library with php. Can you supply any specific questions or information you need? I also searched deja.com and there are a few questions there which seem to imply other people are seeing the same problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-14 04:08:21] derick@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug. Please re-read the instructions at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php If you can provide more information, feel free to add it to this bug and change the status back to "Open".
