note 29817 added to function.imagecreatefrompng

I'm kinda new at php, in fact it's just my second day learning it, and I kicked asp wright out the door, this language is amazing. Anyhow, I kinda hava a problem. I know .png comes in high color resolution, but when I upload and resize it, it fall back to 256 colors. Can I keep it high color resolution, or is that impossible? If yes, how? this is the code: <? $new_w = 122; $new_h = 91; $destination_img = imagecreate($new_w,$new_h); if ($image_stats[2]=="2") { //RESIZE JPG $src_img = imagecreatefromjpeg($dir.$newfile); imagecopyresized($destination_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0, $new_w,$new_h,imagesx($src_img),imagesy($src_img)); imagejpeg($destination_img, $dir."file.jpg"); } elseif ($image_stats[2]=="3") { //RESIZE PNG $src_img=imagecreatefrompng($dir.$newfile); imagecopyresized($destination_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0, $new_w,$new_h,ImageSX($src_img),ImageSY($src_img)); Imagepng($destination_img, $dir."file.png"); } elseif ($image_stats[2]=="1") { //RESIZE GIF } ?> Also is it possible to, let's say, create a png-file from a gif-file? I'd like to have it, since standard php doesn't support gifs anymore (I mean I get an error on imagecreatefromgif(...) ). I know you can change something on the GD, but I don't know if the host I'm gonna put it on has done that too, and I like to have code that works everywhere. Maybe that way I can kinda resize gifs too. If it might help, something that changes the png to a jpg would be sufficient to to solve the first problem. It's not the format that I have a problem with, it's the color resolution, so if I could turn a high color resolution .png into a high color resolution .jpg I'd be more then happy. thx Dirk (BE) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefrompng.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29817 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29817 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29817
