Describe the bug PHP 8.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 claims to have AVIF support, but running the function: imagecreatefromavif() results in the error: imagecreatefromavif() AVIF image support has been disabled

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install PHP 8.2 and the gd extension using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
2. Using apache2, create a file and run echo phpinfo(); to confirm that AVIF Support is set to enabled
3. Run $gd_image = imagecreatefromavif($image_path);
4. This should result in the following warning: Warning: imagecreatefromavif(): AVIF image support has been disabled

What steps did you take to resolve issue yourself before reporting it here I saw this issue with php8.1 and saw that php8.2 should have fixed it, so I upgraded to php 8.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 and made sure that everything was up to date. Similarly, I saw this issue with avif codecs on ubuntu and confirmed that I am on the correct version of libavif (0.9.2 had the bug):

=|/ Name              Version      Architecture Description
+++-=================-============-============-====================================================
ii  libavif-dev:amd64 0.9.3-3      amd64        Library for handling .avif files (development files)
ii  libavif13:amd64   0.9.3-3      amd64        Library for handling .avif files

Expected behavior imagecreatefromavif() should work when AVIF image support is enabled.

I'm sure this is a duplicate of

• php8.1-gd missing AVIF support #1641

They are running php8.1 which apparently wasn't compiled with AVIF support originally. See their output:

[AVIF Support] =>

In my case, AVIF support is enabled in GD info, yet, the function output seems to suggest otherwise. I was also told to open a new issue in that other thread.

Will be glad to see it work. Haven't seen it work in any version yet, and was hoping it would work with Debian 12 Bookworm as well, don't think it's working there yet.
