Description
Description
The following code:
<?php
$gdImage = imagecreatetruecolor(100,100);
imagesavealpha($gdImage, true);
imagefill($gdImage, 0, 0, imagecolorallocatealpha($gdImage, 0, 0, 0, 127));
// imagepng($gdImage, '/tmp/image_transparent.png');
$result = imagecropauto($gdImage, IMG_CROP_TRANSPARENT);
var_dump($result); // object(GdImage)#2 (0) { }
// imagepng($result, '/tmp/image_black.png');
Resulted in this output:
object(GdImage)#2 (0) { }
But I expected this output instead:
bool(false)
Docs at https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecropauto.php are saying:
If the complete image was cropped,
imagecrop()returns false
And this should be the case here IMO.
When doing the same with white background, it works as expected:
<?php
$gdImage = imagecreatetruecolor(100,100);
imagesavealpha($gdImage, true);
imagefill($gdImage, 0, 0, imagecolorallocate($gdImage, 255, 255, 255));
// imagepng($gdImage, '/tmp/image_white.png');
$result = imagecropauto($gdImage, IMG_CROP_WHITE);
var_dump($result); // bool(false)

Research direction
Start by running the provided PHP snippet with IMG_CROP_TRANSPARENT and compare it with the IMG_CROP_WHITE case on fully transparent and fully white 100x100 images. Trace the imagecropauto() entry point and add coverage for the transparent case; done means a fully cropped transparent image returns false, matching the documented behavior.
