Say I want to create a dynamic gif animation that uses select image files on my server. It is possible?

Has anybody had any success generating animated gifs with that ImageMagick script? Does anybody know anything about ImageMagick?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld smithaa02,

>> ImageMagick script

well, first off it's a hack (as the author says) at best, it may work but it may be a little sketchy.

Why do you want to make dynamically created animated gifs, gif support itself didn't come in that long ago because of the whole copyright foolishness.

try the function out and see what happens, it just might work, and if not you can tell us how it misbehaved and we can see if we can't just figure something out.
