AW: [PHP-INST] HELP! create gifs and jpgs

Hi Aaron, I can't answer all the question of yours (cause we only use linux) but I think I might give you some hints (I'm not sure if this works on Windows). On Linux, you can create Images from PHP withe the php own functions (requires gdlib) or with an external tool (think there exists maybe more than one, I only know of this one). Image Magick is, I think, also available for Windows systems and allows you a lot Image Manipulations (IMHO more than the php own functions). Probelm is, that Image Magick doesn't support Gifs anymore in the "new" versions, cause of an Licenceproblem with gif. I'm not sure, bu you might have the problem also with the phpown function (cause gdlib on linux supports also no longer gifs). The benefit and also the solution of your problem might be, that Image Magick supports instead of Gifs the newer and technically better format png. Jpeg is no problem at all. If you need to support gifs, you need to find another solution, if pngs anf jpegs are enought to you Image Magick could be a solution for your problem.

There is some documentation on installation packages needed for Unix but none work on Windows or require a C compiler to build the files which eventually fail during build as well. Where is the windows documenatation? What components do I need to manipulate gifs and jpgs and in what order do I need to install them, and what versions do I need? Thanks for any help.
