Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80168&edit=1 ID: 80168 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: matt dot peveler at gmail dot com Summary: Warning on using second arg for imagexbm -Status: Open +Status: Verified -Type: Bug +Type: Documentation Problem Package: GD related Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 PHP Version: 7.4.11 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The docs are wrong about this. The second parameter is not optional, but it is nullable; so you could do imagexbm($im, null); As of PHP 8.0.0, the second parameter is actually optional, though.

However, on running the test script, I get a PHP Warning about the second argument missing and nothing is outputted to stdout. Changing the used function to imagegif (or any other variant) works as expected. Test script: --------------- <?php // Create a blank image and add some text $im = imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20); $text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91); imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'A Simple Text String', $text_color); // Output the image imagexbm($im); // Free up memory imagedestroy($im); Expected result: ---------------- Output the imagexbm binary to stdout Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: imagexbm() expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given in /tmp/test.php on line 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80168&edit=1
