Marekki’s Watermark

Q: I recived the error Fatal error: Call to undefined function: exif_imagetype() in …

A: you have to check two things:

1. your PHP-version
   The function exif_imagetype is supported by PHP 4 >= 4.3.0 and PHP 5.

2. your PHP-configuration
   exif_imagetype Requirements
   Your PHP must be compiled in with –enable-exif. PHP does not require any additional library for the exif module. Windows users must also have the mbstring extension enabled.

   PHP Installation
   To enable exif-support configure PHP with –enable-exif Windows users must enable both the php_mbstring.dll and php_exif.dll DLL’s in php.ini. The php_mbstring.dll DLL must be loaded before the php_exif.dll DLL so adjust your php.ini accordingly.
   (see: www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exif.php)

Q: What happens with my files when i watermark whole directory?

A: The orginal files will be not changed. This will be save as <filename>.bak . So you can anytime get your pictures without watermark.

Q: What happens when i have set “the default setting for creating watermarks on all images” to NO?

A: Your pictures will not be watermarked, in further versions you should have a possibility to decide shortly before you upload your images.

Q: What happens with my files, when i use watermerk while uploading?

A: The picture will be permanently watermarked. Hopefully you have the original file still on your harddisk.

Q: Do you want to continue developing of watermark?

A: Yes, but i don’t know when the new version will be done.

Q: Why does watermark save my GIF-files as JPG?

A: Since all GIF support was removed from the GD library in version 1.6, watermark must save the GIF file in JPG format.

Q: I have done all the steps, but it is still not working!

A: Go to watermark forum

Q: I have found a bug, what can I do?

A: You can take them home! Watermark has a lot of bugs in this version.
