Re: [PHP-DEV] GIF support
*lol* ! You could do something like --enable-have-a-lzw-license But noone can control this so unisys would consider anybody using php with gif a criminal. And i do not want to know what they think about the development of php. MAybe they find a solution to stop us because *we* are violating their patent in any way. marcus At 23:31 20.11.2002, Stefan Esser wrote: Question...

[PHP-DEV] GIF support
A question popped into my mind. I know GD doesn't support GIF because of Unisys' license on the LZW compression format. Then how can ImageMagick support it? It would sure be nice with an API to ImageMagick (PHPMagick?) as found in Perl. Has anyone started on this before, then I would like to know about it. I could give it a go myself, but would rather not start from scratch. - Carsten -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Then how can ImageMagick support it? afaik, it supports uncompressed GIF, which is useless :). PHP bundled GD supports read support for GIF, as far as you do not need to output GIF images (mobiles) try to use png or others formats instead.
