Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Works just fine for me using PHP 4.3.3.
(creating GIFs does not and will not work)

It does not get created. imagecreatefromgif is false even though gif
read is enabled.

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,
