#30985 [Bgs]: Web site favicon is invalid.

ID: 30985 User updated by: forum at pondus dot net Reported By: forum at pondus dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Windows PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Also note the following: http://bugs.php.net/favicon.ico In Opera, right-click > save image: File name: favicon.bmp File type: BMP Files In Firefox, the title says "BMP Picture". In Internet Explorer, right-click > save image: File type: .bmp I don't think Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera show wrong information about file.

I have also reported this to the Opera developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-05 16:07:21] goba@php.net Well, if the favicon is saved as mirror.php.net.bmp, then I don't know why it would be displayed for other sites. This is a browser bug then indeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-05 15:08:21] forum at pondus dot net Yes, it works in the beginning, but when you take a look in the images directory where the favicons are saved, php.net's favicon is saved as e.g. no2.php.net.bmp instead of no2.php.net.ico. Because of this, Opera uses php.net's favicon on several sites, and not just for php.net. That's a bug in Opera, but also a problem with the favicon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-05 14:56:53] goba@php.net I have just tested our site with Opera 7.50, Firefox 1.0 and Mozilla 1.6, and all display our favicon perfectly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-05 14:43:12] forum at pondus dot net Description: ------------ The favicon used on php.net is invalid and is originally a .bmp-file with a .ico file extension. E.g. Opera and Firefox have problems with invalid favicons and cannot display them. I have uploaded a new icon-file here: http://www.blogg.pondus.net/php-favicon.ico ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30985&edit=1
