Expected type ( Not sure this is a problem :D ) about trongate-framework

[trongate]

Thanks, Derek.

Hi. I'm not entirely sure about this one. The image.php file was was written by my friend Derek. I'll ask him to have a look at this tomorrow. In the meantime, if you have any more info then I'd be grateful. Cheers.

Oh, actually, you do have a resource, so, are you running on PHP 8? I can guarantee that class up until 7.4 (the code is from an earlier version of https://github.com/delboy1978uk/image/), but I haven't tested it on PHP8 yet, I was was waiting on Travis CI updating, but I guess that's happened now, I might look at it tonight

[delboy1978uk]

It works fine and I tested it on PHP8, and there is nothing in this older version that is all that different (all i did in my latest version was put jpeg functions in a jpeg class, png functions in a png class, etc), can you tell me what you are trying to do with it and maybe share some code?

[delboy1978uk]

Yes this is a new type of class as of PHP 8.0.0 https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.gdimage, but I'm wondering why I haven't been able to reproduce your issue, what is expecting one of those?

[trongate]

If we cannot reproduce the fault then the only options I can think of are to either close this one or leave it hanging in the hope that somebody else has something for us.

Any advice?

[delboy1978uk]

Wait for his reply, if there's something I need to update on my own lib to be properly php 8 (and php8 apparently replaces a 'resource' as a 'GdImage'), then I'll obviously do so, and send you a PR on your own code

[delboy1978uk]

@davidjconnelly, if you look to the right you will see that you can tag issues with a label, such as 'improvement', or 'bug', it can help you manage issues as they come in, for example once our man here shows me how to reproduce the bug you can tag it with a bug label, and then its a real 'deal with this' issue

Hi guys, I've noticed the gd extension in PHP 8 is not being loaded by default. Could this be the issue? Easy to see, just open a terminal/ command prompt and enter php -m to list all loaded extensions (as long as php is in the system path). If you don't see the gd module in the list you know the picture functions in Trongate won't work. Then it's just a matter of editing the php.ini file to include this library, then restart the server to enable it and all should work as expected.

[delboy1978uk]

That will indeed be the problem! Easy fix thankfully. Funny, as I had to contact Fasthosts the other day for a client of mine, Fasthosts didnt have gd on their PHP 7.4, so everything crashed the second you tried to call a gd function. I had to explain to their engineers what they had done wrong! Took about 5 days for them to sort it out lol

I should mention however that depending how your PHP is set up, you might have a different ini for the CLI, so php -m could give you different results than phpinfo(), so check that way also.

Good point 👍

I'm getting the feeling that this might be one for the soon-to-open discussion forum at trongate.io. Is that agreeable?

[DaFa66]

This topic has already been discussed on the SCA forum and sorted. By all means we can discuss again on the new Trongate.io forum 👍

I had assumed the SCA forum to be closed to the general public. Anyway, I'll close this one. Thanks.

@DaFa66 I don't have access to that forum, can you share whatever change was suggested?

[DaFa66]

Same suggestion as here but more in depth with examples on how to edit the php.ini to enable the GD module.

If you want access to the forum, just create an account and I'll activate 👍
