Hi,

I have ugraded PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3.2 on my Debian server and I have found a bug width ths function imagettfbbox.

Sometimes the text don't show on the image generated :

http://www.exinsidephp.com/cache/example.png

If I refresh the page (Ctrl+F5) another image don't display the text :

http://www.exinsidephp.com/cache/example2.png

Any error on PHP Blog, any error on syslog or kernel log... I haven't find any trace of error. Someone have the same issue ?

The PHP Package come from http://www.dotdeb.org/ website. The list of modules installed (dpkg -l | grep php5) :

Change title of bug

So I have add debug line and i find origin of bug :

View my previous script an modify width this line :

$tab = imagettfbbox(8,0,Config::getCons('PATH_CACHE').'font/verdana.TTF', $texte);
$text_x = (55-($tab[2]-$tab[6]))/2;
$text_y = (15-($tab[1]-$tab[5]))/2+9;

file_put_contents(Config::getCons('PATH_CACHE').'log_font.txt', $text.' x:'.$text_x.' y:'.$text_y.' imagbox:'.json_encode($tab)."\n",FILE_APPEND);


The result : 

 x:12 y:12.5 imagbox:[-1,-1,30,-1,30,-9,-1,-9]
 x:33554459 y:12.5 imagbox:[-1,-1,-33554433,-1,-33554433,-9,33554430,-9]

 x:12 y:12.5 imagbox:[-1,-1,30,-1,30,-9,-1,-9]

So the problem is located on imagettfbbox funtion, it give wrong value for x position.

So I have find the origin of the problem : "GCC".

This problem appear if you compile PHP 5.3.2 width GCC 4.3.2 on Debian 32 bits. For fix the problem you must compile PHP 5.3.2 width GCC 4.1.2.

Raphael, can you take a look at this one please?
 [2010-03-23 20:59 UTC] geissert@php.net 
Strange that you mention that it works with gcc 4.1.2. Last I heard 5.3.x failed to build with that version (don't know what arch was that, though).

Will take a look at it later. FWIW, a test related to imagettfbbox is reproducibly failing (with the same results on all archs):

ext/gd/tests/bug48801.log:
---- EXPECTED OUTPUT
(-1, 15)
(155, 15)
(155, -48)
(-1, -48)
---- ACTUAL OUTPUT
(1, 15)
(163, 15)
(163, -48)
(1, -48)
---- FAILED

And that was with 4.4.3 (same results without optimisation). Has anyone tried to reproduce it with the same or similar versions of gcc from another distribution?
 [2010-05-01 17:29 UTC] geissert@php.net 
I tried with the following versions and with all of them the result is the same:
4.1.2, 4.2.4, 4.3.4, 4.4.3

So it's a bug on libgd's side. Will ask Sean as he is the maintainer at Debian.

According to Sean, this appears to be a bug in libgd that has been fixed in the 
copy included by PHP but not at upstream. I'm afraid I don't know any other 
detail.
Pierre, could you please take a look at it? (and if possible, update libgd 
upstream :)

The same issue.
Sometimes imagettfbbox returns wrong value for x position.
For example:

Please try using the bundled GD instead, in the meantime.
 [2010-11-22 18:47 UTC] ken at smallboxcms dot com 
I had this problem with the bundled version of GD in PHP 5.3.3. I am pretty much stuck at 5.2.9 as that was the last version of PHP where this bug did not happen.

For proposed fix and further info/discussion, see bug #53504

This problem maybe should also be fixed by this patch (your example image URLs are not longer valid).
