I would like to be able to upload and convert giff images to jpeg... is this possible using the gd library... any pointers... thanks to responders. J

Just use of one of the imagecreatefrom* functions to load it into GD, then imagejpeg() to save it to a new file

Thanks guys.. this is what i've come up with...

 

$image = open_image($uploadFile);

 

imagejpeg($image,'convertedImage.jpg',100);

 

function open_image ($uploadFile) {

    # JPEG:

    $im = @imagecreatefromjpeg($uploadFile);

    if ($im !== false) { return $im;

 

}

    # GIF:

    $im = @imagecreatefromgif($uploadFile);

    if ($im !== false) { return $im; }

 

}
