CodeIgniter - Convert GIF to JPG? Possible?
For those interested in my solution, I simply used the built in GD PHP functions. I have little experience dealing with gif files so I was expecting this to be difficult. The fact of the matter is the CodeIgniter Image_lib and extended library (Which I never got to work properly) is overkill for this.
Here is what I used:
$image = imagecreatefromgif($path_to_gif_image);imagejpeg($image, $output_path_with_jpg_extension);
Very easy and worked perfectly for what I needed.
