Upgrade PHP-FPM Upgrading from PHP 8.1 to PHP 8.2 removes AVIF support

Yeah it's a bug somewhere that I haven't found the cause of yet. For now use Imagick instead of GD php extension for AVIF. Imagick should work

Code (Text):

php --ri imagick

 

it's a weird bug as I can't reproduce it all the time, for instance on AlmaLinux 8.10 with PHP 8.2.17

Code (Text):

PHP_LIBGD_EXTERNAL='y'
PHP_GD_AVIF='y'

Code (Text):

php -v

can you show the output for this command wrapped in CODE/CODEB bbcode tags

Code (Text):

ldd $(which php-fpm) | grep avif

Code (Text):

ldd $(which php-fpm) | grep avif
        libavif.so.14 => /lib64/libavif.so.14 (0x00007fef36f44000)

It's one of the bugs I haven't been able to fix as yet. Still working on it. Could also be specific to EL9 OS and not EL8 OSes

Actually see in your PHP 8.2 upgrade log failed libgd 2.3.3 download

try deleting broken downloads, and re-run centmin.sh menu option 5 so it redownloads libgd 2.3.3 again

Code (Text):

cd /svr-setup/libgd-2.3.3

delete existing ones and let centmin.sh menu option 5 handle it again

Maybe How to Enable Imagick on Your WordPress Site (Easy Way)

Yeah that's the random bug I experience, sometimes it shows AVIF, sometimes not. Haven't been able to figure it out yet. I don't use your plugin, but look at using PHP AVIF via Imagick instead of GD

Under ImageMagick supported formats list look for AVIF

Maybe try How to Enable Imagick on Your WordPress Site (Easy Way)

 

The other thing to try is updating to PHP 8.3.16 which may show libgd with AVIF support (yeah it's random).

 

Yeah as I said random issue works on some but not others. I did find that on no working ones like EL9 OSes, php-fpm compile/upgrade logs show

Code (Text):

checking for working gdImageCreateFromAvif in libgd... no

and PHP config.log log shows more detail for result = no

Code (Text):

so failed test for gdImageCreateFromAvif in libgd is when libgd 2.3.3 does not report AVIF enabled.

while on working libgd reported AVIF support enabled it's

• EPEL EL8 provides libavif-devel 0.10.1
• EPEL EL9 provides libavif-devel 0.11.5 so might be an issue in this version?

That's as far as I have gotten in troubleshooting/time for right now

 

Cheers, your PHP 8.3.16 seems different to my 8.3.16 run though both still result in libgd still not reporting AVIF enabled support.

Ah yes, will need to fix the package version since Github version is being used for PHP 8 support

 

fixed in latest 131.00stable and 140.00beta01 now, so run cmupdate first
