Bug #13960 ImageCreateFromJPEG doesn't work with URLs
Submitted: 2001-11-06 14:36 UTC Modified: 2001-12-13 06:28 UTC

The following code should give me the image served by my webcam server:

$cam = ImageCreateFromJPEG('http://localhost:69/');
imagejpeg($cam);

But instead gives me:

Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg: Unable to open 'http://localhost:69/' for reading in c:\program files\apache\htdocs\webcam\cam.php
If, however, I create a local copy of the output of the server, like this:

$in = fopen('http://localhost:69/','rb');
$out = fopen('tempcam.jpg','wb');
while ( !feof($in) ) {
 $temp = fread ($in, 4096);
 fwrite($out,$temp);
}
fclose ($in); fclose($out);

and then use ImageCreateFromJPEG on that file instead of the URL, it works perfectly.

Therefore, ImageCreateFromJPEG doesn't re-use the fopen code correctly (as it should and is hinted to by the manual page saying that ImageCreateFromJPEG can open files or URLs).

Bug 6825 seems to be similar, but for PHP 4.0.2. The bug was closed as it was allegedly fixed, but now seems to have re-surfaced.

Works fine for me on Linux. Could you please try
with some external jpg? ie. Not on localhost?

Still has the same problem on Windows XP with a jpeg on an external server, but as you say, it works fine on the Linux version (tested on a snapshot build on my Cobalt Qube server).

What if you use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost ?

I have the same problem. I am using PHP 4.2.2 (SAPI, not CGI) with Apache 1.3.26 on Windows 2000. Whether I use GD 1 or 2 (the versions supplied with PHP 4.2.2) there is still a problem reading JPEGs from URLs.
