note 23787 added to ref.swf

Just to mention for users of SuSE 8.0. libswf is included with the distro with no fonts. Therefore you must "patch" libswf support. As I didn't find the solution here before and I found a solution I am posting this fix: Download the libswf package and uncompress to a directory (e.g. /usr/share/php/swf). Then include " SWFFONTPATH=/path/to/fonts export SWFFONTPATH " Then log out and in again and restart apache. Then you should be able to use flash text functions within PHP. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.swf.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23787 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23787 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23787
