I need to read a GIF from a server on Internet. Please, could anybody help me, how to do it as I understand GIF is no any more supported by GD library? I use Win XP, Apache 2 and PHP 4.3.2
Thanks a lot.

old php
Find an old version of php and grab a copy of the old gd libraries and install them and and load them in your php ini file.
Other wise you can use imageMagick which is a download you can install into your configuration. http://www.imagemagick.org
I haven't really played with it but I have done some reading on it and it sounds like a wonderful set of tools for image manipulation and the like,

Thanks a lot for your advice. As discovered my issue was in wrongly upgraded PHP from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2, where I letf PHPTS.DLL from previous version, which cause PHP_GD2.DLL to fail during loading. Once I corrected it, I was able to read GIF with no problem.
By the way, ImageMagic looks fine, but it doesn't work with Windows at this moment - for details see:
