Upgrade php5-gd on 12.04?
- by metrobalderas
I'm working with the GD library for image manipulation, to which I need to create some transparent PNGs. Instead, I'm getting a black background. I've looked everywhere on how to generate a blank, transparent PNG canvas with it and all the answers just don't work for me.
On further inspection, I'm working with an old GD version:
The functions needed to create a transparent PNG requires 2.0.1 altough 2.0.28 or later is recommended. I installed php5-gd with apt-get, and aptitude haven't found new packages.
Do I have to add a new PPA? Where can I find it? What about forcing a version?
Thanks in advance!
