Coppermine and PHP 4.4.1 - imagejpeg workaround

[kegobeer]

If your server is running PHP 4.4.1 and is also running in safe mode, you may have issues with uploading jpeg images.  You may receive this type of error message:

Unable to create thumbnail or reduced size image.
imagejpeg(): unable to access

There is a bug report at bugs.php.net about safe_mode and imagejpeg() in 4.4.1.

http://bugs.php.net/?id=35060

This workaround will fix the issue, until a fix from PHP is released.  Open up picmgmt.inc.php, find (around line 209)

Code Select Expand

imagejpeg($dst_img, $dest_file, $CONFIG['jpeg_qual']);

and replace with

Code Select Expand

$fh=fopen($dest_file,'w');
fclose($fh);
imagejpeg($dst_img, $dest_file, $CONFIG['jpeg_qual']);

If you are using GD1, look a few lines above and make a similar change.

Because you did not apply the fix correctly, as stated in your related thread.

This thread is now locked.

@dev team: should this go into the maintenance release?

[Nibbler]

Will do.

The code in this fix has gone into cpg1.4.4 - users running any previous versions may have to apply the fix, users who run cpg1.4.4 (or better) won't have to.

The fix didn't go into cpg1.4.4, sorry folks - see postings below

I don't see it in the 1.4.4 release.

[Joachim Müller]

dang, something went wrong:  the last-minute commit didn't make it into the package. Oh well, sorry then: I edited my above posting accordingly.

The fix has gone into stable and devel branch today. This means that the fix will go into cpg1.4.6. All users who run an older version together with PHP4.4.1 will have to apply the fix manually (or even better upgrade to cpg1.4.6 once it got released).
