Yii2: Imagick PNG support check error.

[n099y]

G'day guys,

I could not find the root problem, but I thought I would post it here so its known about.

My host has imagick, but the ImageMagick supported formats are as follows ( from phpinfo() ):

3FR, AAI, AI, ART, ARW, AVI, AVS, BGR, BGRA, BMP, BMP2, BMP3, BRF, CAL, CALS, CAPTION, CIN, CIP, CLIP, CMYK, CMYKA, CR2, CRW, CUR, CUT, DCM, DCR, DCX, DDS, DNG, DOT, DPX, DXT1, DXT5, EPDF, EPT, EPT2, EPT3, ERF, EXR, FAX, FITS, FTS, G3, GIF, GIF87, GRADIENT, GRAY, GV, HALD, HDR, HISTOGRAM, HRZ, HTM, HTML, ICO, ICON, INFO, INLINE, IPL, ISOBRL, JNX, JPEG, JPG, JSON, K25, KDC, LABEL, M2V, M4V, MAC, MAP, MASK, MAT, MATTE, MEF, MIFF, MONO, MOV, MP4, MPC, MPEG, MPG, MRW, MSL, MTV, MVG, NEF, NRW, NULL, ORF, OTB, PALM, PANGO, PATTERN, PCD, PCDS, PCL, PCX, PDB, PDF, PDFA, PEF, PES, PJPEG, RADIAL-GRADIENT, RAF, RW2, SHTML, SR2, SRF, UBRL, WMV, X3F

You will notice no PNG in that list.

But the function below (from yiisoft/yii2/captcha/Captcha.php) returns "imagick":

    public static function checkRequirements()
    {
        if (extension_loaded('imagick')) {
            $imagick = new \Imagick();
            $imagickFormats = $imagick->queryFormats('PNG');
            if (in_array('PNG', $imagickFormats)) {
                return 'imagick';
            }
        }
        if (extension_loaded('gd')) {
            $gdInfo = gd_info();
            if (!empty($gdInfo['FreeType Support'])) {
                return 'gd';
            }
        }
        throw new InvalidConfigException('Either GD PHP extension with FreeType support or ImageMagick PHP extension with PNG support is required.');
    }

So you see even though I do not have support for PNG, it is thinking that I do. I have even tried adding exit(); above the return statement to see if that was the path it was taking, and it does indeed use that path.

But something else interesting is the following (inside requirements.php) sets $imagickMemo and $imagickOK stays false:

    if (extension_loaded('imagick')) {
        $imagick = new Imagick();
        $imagickFormats = $imagick->queryFormats('PNG');
        if (in_array('PNG', $imagickFormats)) {
            $imagickOK = true;
        } else {
            $imagickMemo = 'Imagick extension should be installed with PNG support in order to be used for image CAPTCHA.';
        }
    }

So you see, on the same system the same basic piece of code seems to give two different results, so I am thinking something else is also going on. I do notice the first one is using namespace where the other one does not.

As to the underlying cause, I wish you guys good luck, I have had to swap the code so GD evaluating happens first for it to work for me.

Peace, n099y.

I just found out when this starts happening: It only happens when I am logged in.

I do not see how this is causing it thou.

[cebe]

do you see any error?

[tecnologiaterabyte]

@n099y Windows or Linux Version PHP, Version php_imagick.dll ?

[n099y]

No error, it just redirects back to the root index view.

Its the Linux version

Your problem is not Yii2, is your imagick that has no support for PNG,

Your compile imagick, Example Centos:

yum remove ImageMagick
yum install tcl-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel ghostscript-devel bzip2-devel freetype-devel libtiff-devel
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.6.3-5.tar.gz
tar zxvf ImageMagick-6.6.3-5.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.6.3-5
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-bzlib=yes --with-fontconfig=yes --with-freetype=yes --with-gslib=yes --with-gvc=yes --with-jpeg=yes --with-jp2=yes --with-png=yes --with-tiff=yes
make clean
make
make install

Your not understanding the problem man.

I have gotten around the issue, but the problem is even thou I do not have imagick PNG support, yii2 thinks that I do, it has checked the requirements and said yes I have it .. but I do NOT.

[ItsReddi]

it doesnt adress your problem but if this is implemented you dont have to override the core anymore
https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/issues/8284

[n099y]

Yes, that is something.

[n099y]

Where was this fixed ?

[samdark]

It was not. We can't reproduce it so can't fix it.

[apswebdev]

this happened to me too, running on virtual machine, ubuntu 14.04, nginx and php 7. just installed the basic yii2 app.

At first I got the error on mbstring and have fixed that just by installing php7.0-mbstring and then everything works fine but when I clicked on contact page this new error comes up

Invalid Configuration – yii\base\InvalidConfigException
Either GD PHP extension with FreeType support or ImageMagick PHP extension with PNG support is required.

I just installed php7.0-gd and it works again

[newscloud]

Sam, I'm getting this too on the staging server I'm trying to set up for you:
http://screencast.com/t/kdH0Xx71

[nullQ]

sudo apt install php-gd

sudo service apache2 restart

[kk12837]

Please help

Thanks
