Re[2]: [PHP] Better way to store data in memory?

In the end I implemented RLE on the image data, and depending on the image in question it is saving sometimes up to 70%, which I'm quite happy with. I also found a neat way to avoid using a temporary location, dropping my requirement for the massive array entirely. > It would be Really Nifty if the GD library provided functions to > convert a pixel column to an array and vice versa, eh? Certainly, but I won't hold my breath. You can *almost* get a similar result to this by holding the image data in a string and grabbing chunks from it that way (GDs imagestring() function being a god-send here) Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer http://www.corephp.co.uk "Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window"
