Description:
------------
if you create an image source from an image file, with imagecreatefrompng($path)
$path leads to a png image

you will come to a bug, where if u use imagecolorat() will always return an rgb value of 0.

but if you change it to imgcreatefromstring($path) and load the png file it also won't work.
imagecolorat() only works with jpg files in the end.

Test script:
---------------
 $imageSource = file_get_contents("uploads/"."myfile.png");

        $imageSource = imagecreatefrompng($imageSource);
  for($x=0; $x<$imageX;$x++){
            for($y=0;$y<$imageY;$y++){
                $rgb = imagecolorat($imageSource, $x, $y);
}
}

Expected result:
----------------
All returns get a value of 0.

Actual result:
--------------
The actual result should have returned the rgb value of the pixel in a png file.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

The code you posted combines file_get_contents with imagecreatefrompng. Those two will never work together. Please post the exact code you had problems with.

Find your php.ini, set error_reporting=-1 and display_errors=on, restart your web server, and try the non-working code again. If you don't see error messages then your configuration is not correct.

When you do see error messages, consider that imagecreatefrompng wants a file path and not file contents.

--------------------------
So I tried the code again, i found the issue,
The issuce came from a string containing the image data stream instead of a file path.

I am sorry for false calling the bug report, I didn't found the error the first time cause everything seemed fine

even on production machines you should run error_reporting E_ALL and handle warnings and notices like fatal errors, the only difference is display_errors which should only be enabled on development machines, logging in both cases
