ImageCreate function

[Anon]

Hi there,

I have been attempting to create .png and .jpg images in PHP and whenever I use the ImageCreate() function, it gives me an error saying "Call to undefined function ImageCreate()...". If I suppress errors by calling the function like @ImageCreate(), I get a square box with an X in it, as if there was no image to be displayed.

From what I have heard, the newer versions of PHP have image support built in. How do I make it work?

This means that your PHP installation does not have the GD Library enabled do

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

If there is NO mention of the GD library being loaded then any IMAGE function will fail to work.

Follow the manuals information setting it up.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. From waht it looks like, I will have to compile PHP myself, and that seems like quite a hassle. Is this true, or is there another way?
