Re: Bug #1728 Updated: libgd 1.6 and PHP3 Incompatible

It will disable support for the imagecreatefromgif and imagegif functions. If someone wants to add support for imagecreatefrompng and imagepng functions, they can go ahead. We should probably make configure spit out a big warning when gd1.6 is being used. Hopefully this will motivate someone to write a nice small graphics library that allows different formats to easily plug in for reading and writing. It's not like the gd library does anything especially clever.
