#24174 [Csd]: Seg. fault when calling imagecreatefromstring

ID: 24174 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: legion at altlinux dot org Status: Closed Bug Type: GD related Operating System: ALTLinux PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: Not really, but what do you want us to do? We can't fix segfaults in 3rd-party libraries. Well, we can, we can fix them and redistribute them, exactly like we are doing. So either use the 3rd-party stuff and hope you get one which doesn't segfault or use the one we bundle that we have tested and fixed.

You don't support external GD library and use your own fork. Am i right ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-16 13:00:15] pajoye@php.net <Then next bug is: i can't use function imagegif() in your solution. Can i post it ?> No, this is not a bug. Even Boutell does not support gif export. I strongly suggest you to use only the bundled GD (and thinking about alternatives for the gif format), its quality and its integration to php is really better. pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-16 12:40:21] legion at altlinux dot org This is not the solution at all. Then next bug is: i can't use function imagegif() in your solution. Can i post it ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-16 11:54:26] derick@php.net There is the solution then, use the bundled library (which has some bugs fixed the external one hasn't) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-16 11:49:56] legion at altlinux dot org I did what you asked me. I even got computer for tests. I install last version s of gd-2.0.15 and php4-STABLE-200306161530. When i use the bundled GD library everything is ok, but if i use external GD then happens segfault. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
