Re: brain damage in the gd ext [was: Re: [PHP-DEV] GD version available in script ?]

You can use constant GD_BUNDLED which is either undefined, 0 or 1. Defined as means the bundeled gd version is used. But i just implemented gd_info(). See below. Tell me please what else do you want do see? marcus [marcus@zaphod php4-HEAD]$ php -r 'var_dump(gd_info()); array(10) { ["GD Version"]=> string(24) "bundled (2.0 compatible)" ["FreeType Support"]=> bool(true) ["FreeType Linkage"]=> string(13) "with freetype" ["T1Lib Support"]=> bool(false) ["GIF Read Support"]=> bool(true) ["GIF Create Support"]=> bool(false) ["JPG Support"]=> bool(true) ["PNG Support"]=> bool(true) ["WBMP Support"]=> bool(true) ["XBM Support"]=> bool(false) } At 12:10 12.11.2002, Roman Neuhauser wrote:

# paj@pearfr.org / 2002-09-05 20:21:15 +0200: Hello, Working on PEAR::Image_Transform, I realize there is no way to check the currently used gd version. Beside that, gd2 functions are always available (raise warning if wrong gd version), this forces us to make a first call the function and call it again : if(@ImageCreateTrueColor()){

    $new_img =ImageCreateTrueColor($new_x,$new_y);

} else {

    $new_img =ImageCreate($new_x,$new_y);

} Is it possible to add a constant at build time ? or is there a better way to do it ? thank's in advance,

    Pierre,

    have you received a reply to your post?

    Everyone: the fact that e. g. imagecreatefromgif() exists no matter
    what, throwing a warning if you have a wrong GD version is IMNSHO
    utterly dumb. The fact that it limits the number of bogus PRs
    doesn't justify the breakage it forces into one's code.

    Could someone please fix this?
