as Rasmus said on phpgeneral " The Windows binary was built without the right #define to enable the GIF support. You will have to wait for the next Windows build before this will work."
so it should be fixed in the next Windows build. i believe the patent has expired or will do soon.

Due to the copyright laws, GD had to remove all gif support. I believe you can still open .gif files, but you can not edit/save them. You should try using something which is open license like a .png file... I am not awear of any gif section in phpinfo... i've yet to see one. I could be wrong, but if that happened then I would have to kill you all... ;-) Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Weil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 5:31 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] PHP 4.3.0 no gif support? > So... > > WIll gif support ever be available on win32?
