Bug #17664 Updated: Compiling with GD > 1.6 cause GIF problems

ID: 17664 Updated by: davey@its-explosive.net Reported By: davey@its-explosive.net Status: Bogus Bug Type: GD related Operating System: *nix PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: oh and as I said, it's not a patch, it's just a bad fix that works... a proper patch should be made by someone with more C knowledge IMO. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 08:38:25] davey@its-explosive.net 1.6 supports GIF but no PNG according to php.net/image. it's >1.6 thats the problem. And why should people have to patch other software for PHP to work with them? surely PHP should work with the default config and have problems with the patched ones (or none at all as you state)? As is usually the case with most things. Heh - Davey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 07:56:47] rasmus@php.net Well, your patch still makes no sense. gd-1.6 and higher can still have gif support via the patches you can find at http://www.rime.com.au/gd/gd.html so simply disabling it is a very bad idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 07:26:27] davey@its-explosive.net Rasmus: What if people have that library (libgd.[a|so] version 1.3) for other uses? I'm sure people do, although I don't know what other uses it has personally as I don't use it for anything else that I know of, I'm sure there is more that using it with PHP, thats something you need to cater for IMO... perhaps I'm way outta line, I don't know. Nice fast response ... I like it :) - Davey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 07:23:39] davey@its-explosive.net So you know the changes I made: http://www.its-explosive.net/~davey/gd.diff.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 07:06:28] rasmus@php.net This makes very little sense. The Gif stuff will only be enabled if the libgd that PHP finds contains the Gif functions. Read the config.m4 file to see the checks. If it is getting enabled for you, it probably means that you have a libgd.[a|so] version 1.3 or older floating around on your system and that is what PHP is finding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
