Re: new IM driver for Image_Transform

Yes, you are right about only have to check for error if the exit is negative....else the file is just unlinked. This is better than ob_* since with ob_ there is no way to distinguish stderr from stdout...like some people do 2>&1 which puts stderr into stdout, but then how do you tell which is which if they get mixed in together...so yes, writing to a file is the accepted way to capture is message. Well, at the very least, let's do this...we don't have to do a ton of error checking (or we could use a flag to ignore it) but what we should do is if an error is encountered...then you raise a pear error like I do in System/Command.php and that way you can do this: if (Image_Transform::isError($return = $img->save('foo.gif'))) { die($return->getMessage()); } That's all I really request with that. Don't worry about wars...I am not one to participate in them, I just like to get my thoughts out there...I know that the reason we contribute to PEAR is for the community, not for ourselves and therefore the community will always be right...
