Just curious, is there a reason you chose GD over imlib2?

I've used both and I think I prefer imlib2 for flexibility and breadth, and there's already at least one imlib2 binding for PHP: http://pp.siedziba.pl/

Hasn't been updated in a while? Is it even still supported?
Thanks, I'd seen so many language bindings for imlib2 (and, yes, gd) that I'd assumed it was an active project, but you're right that it's not. Also gd does a lot more than it used to.

Thanks for the correction!

very cool, I'll see about adding support for it too
Probably not worth the trouble, since as mp3geek points out, it's stale (according to wikipedia, a deprecated/defunct part of Enlightenment)
