Question PHP 7.3: webp support in GD

[davidlan]

Hi,

I need webp support in gd, but it seems that php 7.3 (and 7.0) is compiled without it.

This is the output of gd_info():


Code:
Array
(
[GD Version] => bundled (2.1.0 compatible)
[FreeType Support] => 1
[FreeType Linkage] => with freetype
[GIF Read Support] => 1
[GIF Create Support] => 1
[JPEG Support] => 1
[PNG Support] => 1
[WBMP Support] => 1
[XPM Support] => 1
[XBM Support] => 1
[WebP Support] => 0
[JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support] => 0
)

I'm using Debian 8, that has webp enabled in gd but last php version is 5.6.30 and I need php 7. I can install PHP7 with gd-webp support from an external repository but Plesk doesn't have a handler for it.

What can I do?

Thanks

Have you tried to check View the phpinfo() page if you choose PHP 7.3 in PHP Settings of your domain?
I see there:


The GD library shipped with Plesk PHP 7.2 and higher supports WebP starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.27.

The GD library shipped with Plesk PHP 7.2 and higher supports WebP starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.27.

This is the Onyx subforum though, and they won't have much success upgrading to Obsidian while running debian 8 ...

@davidlan please upgrade to a supported debian version.
