Note:
Since all GIF support was removed from the GD library in
version 1.6, this function is not available if you are using
that version of the GD library.
Tip: You can use a URL as a
filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled.
See fopen() for more details on how to specify
the filename and Appendix J for a list of supported
URL protocols.
Warning | Windows
versions of PHP prior to PHP 4.3.0 do not
support accessing remote files via this function, even if
allow_url_fopen is enabled.
