ID: 15913 Updated by: edink@php.net Reported By: shakad@yahoo.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Windows2000 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP. Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-16 07:12:37] Jouser@attbi.com I think this might be why ImageTTFtext from the Image Functions does not work when using GD 2.0.0 or higher (php_gd2.dll). If you use php_gd.dll this function works but the GD library doesn't support true color support. If you want true color support you have to use php_gd2.dll but then this function doesnt work. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Could anyone recompile the php_gd2.dll with Freetype and see if this is the problem? Does anyone know if the same person who compiled php_gd.dll also compiled php_gd2.dll? I think the problem might be that whoever compiled the php_gd2.dll that ships with PHP forgot to compile FreeType library while compiling GD. This is only a guess because I heard someone say that ImageTTFtext works on unix machines which leads me to believe this is the problem. I would test it myself but I don't know how to compile the file :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 05:02:21] apz@iname.com Tghis describes the same bug as I mentioned in Bug #14876... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 19:33:53] sam@samandkristen.com I get strange errors like the following: PHP Warning: ¸/ª in c:\myfiles\websites\skin\functions.php on line 88 PHP Warning: ˆ/ª in c:\myfiles\websites\skin\functions.php on line 79 PHP Warning: h/ª in c:\myfiles\websites\skin\functions.php on line 79 when trying to call: ImageTTFText ($im, 13, 0, 12, 14, $nav_text_off, $navFontPath, $navText); where $navFontPath is: $navFontPath = "/skin/fonts/".$navFont.".ttf"; Where /skin is in my webroot.
