Description:
------------
Sometimes when calling imageCreateFromPng() it produces a fatal error instead of returning an empty string.


Reproduce code:
---------------
/*
 *  The code are placed inside this function 
 *  &getImage($IfilePathName)
 */
return imageCreateFromPng($IfilePathName);





Expected result:
----------------
An empty string.


After the documentation the function should return a resource on succes, and on error an empty string.



Actual result:
--------------
<b>Fatal error</b>:  imagecreatefrompng(): gd-png:  fatal libpng error: Invalid chunk length. in <b>
C:\Documents and Settings\hkh\Desktop\php\desktop\bmpNoget.inc.php</b> on line <b>98</b><br />

Are you using the bundled gd library ("configure --with-gd" and not --with-gd=/path/to/gd).

Cannot reproduce it with all branches and 4.3.8.

I found out witch pictures, who gives this error. It's png's created with acdsee (used to convert bmp's to png's). I have experinced no trouble with these png's in other programs.


I also found out, some of the png's gives a
<b>Fatal error</b>:  imagecreatefrompng(): gd-png:  fatal libpng error: Too many IDAT's found


Run a phpinfo() who tells me
   GD Version  bundled (2.0.23 compatible)  


The ini file contains this
   extension=php_gd2.dll

I don't have the original pictures. They was saved from a homepage via a browser (Don't know witch because i use four different) to my harddesk.

I tried to find the original pictures, but now they are jpg's not bmp's. sorry.

The fact is you will not be able to read these images without using another libpng (1.0.6 and later), compiled with:
   #define PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED
   #define PNG_ABORT()

The png files are not valid.

The fix will be to change the error to a warning and return false.

Not a developer issue. Fix your image conversion tool.

Maybe the png files not are valid, but still PHP should not crash according to the manual who ways "returns an empty string on failure."
