#25507 [Opn->Csd]: Extend image functions to use files or buffers for source data

ID: 25507 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: hr at ansmann-energy dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request -Operating System: FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p3 +Operating System: * PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: All functions you have named can handle streams, so the only thing you need to do is using a stream around your buffer stream_register_wrapper(). And there is also imagecreatefromstring() which can handle php strings as buffer. That works because php strings know their length and can store \0 in contrast to c strings.

Then if retrieving binary image data from a database, it would save the overhead of writing and reading this data to plain files for data manipulation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25507&edit=1
