imagepalettetotruecolor

PHP ver 5.4.24 does not support this function (it has not been defined). To get rid of this, you must copy image resource to new image created by function imagecreatetruecolor();

Example with image loaded from GIF file:

$image  = imagecreatefromgif("path/to/gif/file.gif");  //create an image from GIF
$width  = imagesx($image);                             //get width of source image
$height = imagesy($image);                             //get height of source image
$image2 = imagecreatetruecolor($width,$height);        //create new image of true colors with given width and height
imagecopy($image2,$image,0,0,0,0,$width,$height);      //copy source image to new one

header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");                    //set header for JPG image
imagejpg($image2);                                     //render JPg image into browser

imagedestroy($image);                                  //free up memory
imagedestroy($image2);

here the working version of walf's solution

<?php
// Backwards compatiblity
if (!function_exists('imagepalettetotruecolor')) {
    function imagepalettetotruecolor(&$src) {
        if (imageistruecolor($src)) {
            return true;
        }

        $dst = imagecreatetruecolor(imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
     
        imagealphablending($dst, false);//prevent blending with default black
        $transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($dst, 255, 255, 255, 127);//change the RGB values if you need, but leave alpha at 127
        imagefilledrectangle($dst, 0, 0, imagesx($src), imagesy($src), $transparent);//simpler than flood fill
        imagealphablending($dst, true);//restore default blending

        imagecopy($dst, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
        imagedestroy($src);

        $src = $dst;
        return true;
    }
}
?>

The backwards compatibility example does not preserve transparency. You must first wipe out the default black background on the new image:

<?php
// Backwards compatiblity
if (!function_exists('imagepalettetotruecolor')) {
    function imagepalettetotruecolor(&$src) {
        if (imageistruecolor($src)) {
            return true;
        }

        $dst = imagecreatetruecolor(imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
        
        imagealphablending($dst, false);//prevent blending with default black
        $transparent = imagecolorallocatealpha($new_image, 255, 255, 255, 127);//change the RGB values if you need, but leave alpha at 127
        imagefilledrectangle($dst, 0, 0, $imagesx($src), imagesy($src), $transparent);//simpler than flood fill
        imagealphablending($dst, true);//restore default blending

        imagecopy($dst, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0, imagesx($src), imagesy($src));
        imagedestroy($src);

        $src = $dst;
        return true;
    }
}
?>
