Umm... did you read the OP? He's not asking about GIF support -- he's asking why temporary files created by PHP + GD are not being deleted when imagedestroy() is issued. To the OP: from the manual, imagedestroy merely frees memory associated with an image resource; it doesn't remove the temp file associated with it. It's possible that PHP is either relying on the OS's /tmp cleanup routines or Apache's temp file cleanup, or has set a large garbage collection interval itself in its php.ini. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:matthew@xxxxxxxxxx Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
