The function 
int ImageCreateFromGif ($filename)
can be passed any type of PHP filename (URL, filesystem, ftp, ...).  however, only local filesystem files can be loaded.

--with-mysql --enable-track-vars

php3.ini is irrelevent

i've tried this with 3.0.9, 3.0.12 and 4.0b3 and all versions suffer from the same problem.  Try
$image = ImageCreateFromGif ("http://www.php.net/gifs/logo.gif");
and you'll get the warning.

Please email me if you can tell me how to fix the bug and recompile, as I need this function for a project i'm working on.  thank!

this is a limitation of the GD-Library - to change it we'd have to replace their file-io layer against the one used in PHP.

volonteers?
