Re: PHP 4.3.0 no gif support?

Due to the copyright laws, GD had to remove all gif support. I believe you can still open .gif files, but you can not edit/save them. You should try using something which is open license like a .png file... I am not awear of any gif section in phpinfo... i've yet to see one. I could be wrong, but if that happened then I would have to kill you all... ;-) Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Weil" <bweil@san.rr.com> To: <php-windows@lists.php.net>; <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 5:31 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] PHP 4.3.0 no gif support? > So... > > WIll gif support ever be available on win32?
