Re: Importing a GIF image and making it transparent

It doesn't look like you'll be able to use GD, as GIF support was dropped in 1.6 and JPEG support was only added in 1.8. You'd have to experiment with ImageMagick, or another command-line tool independent of PHP. /* Chris Lambert, CTO - chris@whitecrown.net WhiteCrown Networks - More Than White Hats Web Application Security - www.whitecrown.net */ ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Quinn <benquinn@optushome.com.au> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 2:23 AM Subject: [PHP] Importing a GIF image and making it transparent | Hi all | | I've been trying to make a script that imports a GIF image from an external | server (i have permission to do this, see below) and designates a certain | colour transparent for some time now and i'm not having much luck.
