GD errors and problems

ph3n0m

I recently download GD

Now I did as instructed

Copied php_gd.dll into extensions folder (I am using Nusphere with phpMyAdmin, and the dll are all located in the php folder in the following path

D:\nusphere\apache\php

I then edited php.ini to include

extension=php_gd.dll

I then rebooted the machine

Started up Nusphere's sample site, that starts up mySQL and PHP aswell, and nothign happened. If i try a simple test like below

$im = imagecreate (50, 250);
$bgcolor = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0x77, 0x77, 0x77);
$font = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
ImageTTFText ($im, 35, 90, 40, 230, $font, "", "blablabla");
Imagepng ($im, "pic.png");
ImageDestroy ($im);
echo "<html><body><img src=\"pic.png\" border=0></body></html>";

I get the following error message

Call to undefined function: imagecreate()

Now obviously something has gone wrong, I am running php 4.0.2.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I am after doing wrong

Have you set the extension path in your php.ini file to tell it where to find the extension?

Or you could try

dl("D:\nusphere\apache\php\php_gd.dll");

at the beginning of your script.

already checked that out

extension path in the http.conf file, and is already defined and confirmed as it pulls other dlls located in the same folder
