Bug #15288 Updated: Image*-functions being avail even if they're not implemented by gd

ID: 15288 User updated by: matslin@orakel.ntnu.no Old Summary: Image*-functions being avail even if they're not implemented by gd Reported By: matslin@orakel.ntnu.no Old Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I've made a small patch based on the CVS-version that remove functions that are not available. I'm not sure if i caught them all, but i made a try :-) I've not removed the original error-messages ("gd was compiled without support.."), so they're still in there (maybe a define or ./configure-option to select what way error-reporting should be done). the diff: http://software.e-mats.org/patches/gd.c-diff-2002-01-30 the source: http://software.e-mats.org/patches/gd.c-cvs-2002-01-30 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-30 08:51:11] derick@php.net 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
