animated gif

I am a complete idiot and when it comes to PHP code I'm even worse.

Is there something special I need to do to get an animated gif to work
inside some PHP code.

I have substituted an animation for a still picture.

I created an animation and named it the same as the still picture then
uploaded it to the server and overwrote the one in the images directory.

Thanks in advance

What do you mean with work inside some PHP code?

Is it like make an animated gif using GD library?

Or just call image using html tag? I think you just call it at html
tag:

<img src="animated.g if">

That is basicly what I want.

This is in the Simple Machine Forum application.

There is an icon named 'on.gif'. I made an animated icon and also named
it 'on.gif' and uploaded it to the server and overwrote the existing
image file.

You can see it NOT WORKING here:

You may have to register to see everything. If you do, use the word
linux in your display name and I will clean up later.

The fishing reel on the left should be spinning if you have not read the
messages. And not spinning if you have.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi there, I'm trying to read an animated gif from a url (for a banner-rotator). The code I have now, does read the gif (or jpg), but the result is that I only get the first frame of the animated gif, AND at a much lower quality :-( Important to note is that the image is read from a url (from a different server), and thus NOT from the local disk. Below is the code I use:

At the top of the page on my website http://www.itemlook.com I have an animated gif called "eyeline.gif". It has worked fine in the past, but recently I am unable to get it to work using IE6. All that I get is a box with nothing in it. It almost seems as if the file will not open on my page, let alone animate. It still works fine with my Netscape browser. I am using Windows 98. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hi, I'd like to write Javascript that stops animated gifs from animating. On Firefox, at least, window.stop(); does the trick, although it stops everything on the page and is kind of unpredictable.

I thought it would be nice to display some animated GIFs on some of my forms. I put a PictureBox control on a form, and loaded my GIF file in. It animates, but not properly. It seems very jerky and dwells on some frames longer than it should. Searching for this problem, I have found several people who have stated that animated GIFs don't work in a PictureBox at all, and you have to use the ImageAnimator. I assume they must be referring to...

Hey, I have a PHP script that I made for an image based shoutbox with emoticons. The problem is that php GD doesn't support animated gifs, yet perl GD does.
