Below is the GD information from my server, when i use the phpinfo(); function Its says that gug read and write are supported but when i try and upload a *.gif image i get an error , can anyone tell me why
GD
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled
Gif write support in GD is only available in the very latest version of GD, as until June this year, copyright issues meant it was not supported, and most webhosts have not upgraded yet.
So coppermine was set up without support for gif images when using GD. This is being addressed with full support in the next version. I beleive there has been posts explaining how to overcome this restriction with the current versions, please search.
