Hi Aaron,
I can't answer all the question of yours (cause we only use linux) but I
think I might give you some hints (I'm not sure if this works on Windows).
On Linux, you can create Images from PHP withe the php own functions
(requires gdlib) or with an external tool (think there exists maybe more
than one, I only know of this one). Image Magick is, I think, also available
for Windows systems and allows you a lot Image Manipulations (IMHO more than
the php own functions). Probelm is, that Image Magick doesn't support Gifs
anymore in the "new" versions, cause of an Licenceproblem with gif. I'm not
sure, bu you might have the problem also with the phpown function (cause
gdlib on linux supports also no longer gifs). The benefit and also the
solution of your problem might be, that Image Magick supports instead of
Gifs the newer and technically better format png. Jpeg is no problem at all.
If you need to support gifs, you need to find another solution, if pngs anf
jpegs are enought to you Image Magick could be a solution for your problem.
Greetings,
Stefan

Betreff: [PHP-INST] HELP! create gifs and jpgs
I'm using Windows IIS 4.0 and am trying to create gifs and jpgs and
manipulate them but there is NO documentation describing what components I
need to install so I can do so. There is some documentation on installation
packages needed for Unix but none work on Windows or require a C compiler to
build the files which eventually fail during build as well. Where is the
windows documenatation? What components do I need to manipulate gifs and
jpgs and in what order do I need to install them, and what versions do I
need?
Thanks for any help.
Aaron
