ID: 15288 Updated by: derick Old Summary: Image*-functions being avail even if they're not implemented by gd Reported By: matslin@orakel.ntnu.no Old Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I'm +1 on your patch as well, can you make it against the latest CVS version? I'll make sure it gets committed then. regards, Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-30 08:47:03] matslin@orakel.ntnu.no This is excactly the point i'm trying to make. To me it seems like the most logical thing would be to not implement the function at all, since this would make function_exists() work as expected. Implementing the function (to give an error message) - even though its not available seems kinda useless, since this also makes it harder to make a general solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-30 08:13:23] mfischer@php.net This one seems really a mess to me (declaring function which output "not implemented") when we have 'function_exists()'. Reopening for discussion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-30 07:39:49] matslin@orakel.ntnu.no .. this does however not cover the TTF*-functions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-29 23:06:03] cardinal@php.net There is already a clean way to check which image formats are supported: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagetypes.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-29 20:53:30] matslin@orakel.ntnu.no The Image*-functions specific for different formats are available even if they're not supported in GD. Even though this is understandable, a better practice would probably be to disable these functions, since they're not available.(so they can be checked for existance in runtime, instead of relying on errors passed back from gd) It shouldnt be much of a change, since i was able to create the desired effect using a few #ifdef's - and i've only got spare knowledge of c. http://software.e-mats.org/patches/gd_4.1.1.diff contains the diff for the gd.c-file from 4.1.1. that i used for testing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15288&edit=1
