> Sorry it is imagecreatefromgif THIS FAILS
Does imagecreatefromgif() fail? Not sure, but if it wasn't supported, I
think you'd get an error about that the function doesn't exist. Exactly
what error do you get? Is an image created, but empty? Does the
function return false?
This function works fine on several of my installations, including
4.3.2 and 4.3.3.

I'm not sure what you mean here. imagegif() will not be supported if
it's only "READ ENABLED", because it encodes gifs. Even if imagegif()
isn't supported, you should be able to use imagecreatefromgif(), as it
only decodes.

imagegif is a temp fix to let one know gif is not supported and can't
be used.

I asked what operations they performed and what error message was
reported, if any. Which PHP function can't handle gifs?
I can certainly read gifs with my installation, currently 4.3.3RC2
pre-compiled Windows binary. This works fine:
<?php
$imgfile = 'some.gif';
$img = imagecreatefromgif($imgfile);
imagepng($img);
?>

Hey I do not have thousand dollars to be a C++ compiler.
This has nothing to do with the programs. They are simply reading the
gif and then they convert to jpg. What is happening is in the windows
binaries PHP reports GD is compiled with gif read enabled but in
reality it is not. I can take the same program and run on a unix
machine with gd gif read enabled and it works. There has been extensive
testing and it comes back to the windows binaries not compiling right.
They report gif read and ttf are enabled but they are not. If I had the
ability to compile my own windows version I would,

What operations are your programs performing on the gifs/tiffs? In what
way do they fail? Error message?
Note, compiling on Windows is not very hard, you'll find all
instructions on how to do it here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php
(not mentioned there, it is the php4apache[2] project you shall compile
if you want the Apache module)

Description:
------------
Hello All,
This is a simple error. I notice it is not in PHP versions one
compiles themselves.
This has to do with windows precompiled binaries. I also tested with
the same results on version 4.3.3
If you do a phpinfo commmand after installing one will see that GD2
is installed by default with GIF READ ENABLED AND TTF SUPPORT.
However I I have two different programs that deal with gif file
uploads and one with ttf. None work with these PHP compiled versions.
On a Unix system where PHP is self compiled with these on everything
works on these systems. Alot of research and some further coding to
truly check for whether gif read was enabled revealed on the
precompiled windows binaries found it was not. So thus I come here. Can
Binaries be made for windows that truly have these features enabled. I
would have to do alot of things to compile PHP on my windows system.
