Fixed by Pierre ;-) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-18 11:07:32] kalle@php.net I can't see anywhere on the imagecreatetruecolor() page that it says it doesn't work with GIF's ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-27 18:45:26] ljb9832 at pobox dot com Description: ------------ In the reference manual dated 2010-02-05 (but also in the current online version), the page for imagecreatetruecolor says: "Note: This function will not work with GIF file formats." That is incorrect. You can output GIF image files from truecolor GD images. GD internally converts the image to a palette image with a maximum of 256 colors and creates the GIF from that. I suggest either deleting the note, or replacing it with something like this: "Note: GIF files can be produced from true-color images. PHP will convert the true-color image to a palette image with a maximum of 256 colors, and then output the result in GIF format." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51414&edit=1
