imagegd2(): GD2 image support has been disabled

[rybajz]

Hi,
thank you for your great PHP sw.

I have problem with images. I use imagegd2($this->image); for manipulating images. But I am getting following error:
imagegd2(): GD2 image support has been disabled

This error appear on 7.4 and 8.0.
On 7.3 is everything ok.

Could you please help me solve this isssue?

Thanks

GD image formats are old and not used anymore, so they are disabled by default since libgd 2.3.3.
libgd/libgd#428

Therefore they are also disabled in the Homebrew's build of libgd, and that is used in PHP 7.4 and above.
So support for this won't be added.

imagegd2 function outputs images in gd2 format.

Use imagejpeg() for jpg
