ID: 15797 Comment by: antoine at rezo dot net Reported By: mark at tapinternet dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: GD related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment:
This bug is supposedly fixed, but we hase users complaining about it in more recent versions of PHP. See : - v4.1.2: http://listes.rezo.net/archives/spip-dev/2003-03/msg00224.html - v4.2.0: http://listes.rezo.net/archives/spip-dev/2003-03/msg00226.html With this bug it is impossible to write portable programs. What is your suggestion for circumventing it ? I know of no way to detect the GD version.

Since the php code cannot investigate which version of GD is installed before this call is made, this makes it impossible to create applications which can gracefully degrade depending on the version of GD installed. The fatal error is inconsistent with the warnings that are returned when GIF,PNG, or JPEG support is not compiled into GD. The return value for all these functions should be a warning to allow maximum flexibility to the programmer. if (! $Image = ImageCreateTrueColor($w,$h)) { $Image = ImageCreate($w,$h); } It is not possible to execute the above code because the fatal error when GD 2.0 is not installed will cease execution of the code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15797&edit=1
