imagecreatejpg makes 4 color images

[altaergo]

Ok, I just upgraded to apache 2.0 and php 4.3 and now I'm getting screwed on imagecreatejpg. This is a basic script that took a file and resized it, no problem. Well now it's getting resized and moved to 4 (maybe 8) colors. That's no good. I looked through the documentation and it looks like the only help i can find says use createimagetruecolor() but when I do that, it says it's not an available function. Maybe the docs haven't caught up with 4.3 yet?

Anyway, I've installed the latest version of GD (2.0.9). my config script is "./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-gd=/usr/local --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-calendar --with-exif " and everything compiles without error.

but as a result I get http://www.marigotcollection.com/products/resize.php?img=images/01000.jpg&picsize=100

But the exact same script gives me the correct results here:
http://68.63.40.59/marigot/products/resize.php?img=images/01000.jpg&picsize=100

If anyone wants to check the compile stuff try http://68.63.40.59/ and http://www.marigotcollection.com/test.php

The only part that I wasn't able to get done was "--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local" Everytime I tried it with that I got this lovely error "onfigure: error: Unable to find gd.h anywhere under /usr/local --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/"

My original image I'm resizeing is http://www.marigotcollection.com/products/images/01000.jpg and my source code is ....

Header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
	if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[picsize]) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS[picsize]<= 800)){
		$picsize = $HTTP_GET_VARS[picsize];
		}
	else {
		$picsize =100;
		}

$src_img = imagecreatefromjpeg($HTTP_GET_VARS[img]);


/* desired width of the thumbnail */

/* grabs the height and width */
$new_w = imagesx($src_img);
$new_h = imagesy($src_img);
/* calculates aspect ratio */
$aspect_ratio = $new_h / $new_w;
/* sets new size */
$new_w = $picsize;
$new_h = abs($new_w * $aspect_ratio);
/* creates new image of that size */
$dst_img = imagecreate($new_w,$new_h);
/* copies resized portion of original image into new image */
imagecopyresized($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,imagesx($src_img),imagesy($src_img));
/* return jpeg data back to browser */
imagejpeg($dst_img,"",100);

Thanks!

<?
// instead of
$dst_img = imagecreate($new_w,$new_h);
// try it with
$dst_img =imageCreateTrueColor($new_w,$new_h);

already tried that, sorry, I said createimagetruecolor when i meant to say imagecreatetruecolor. When I try that I get an error saying that the function does not exist. I wish phpinfo would show the REAL gd version instead of saying "1.6.x or greater" blech.

imageCreateTrueColor() will solve your problem.
Did you read compiling hints like "If you upagrade the GD from 1.8.X to 2.0.X, you should delete config.cache before reconfigure the php source" on http://www.php3.de/manual/en/function.imagecreatetruecolor.php ?

[altaergo]

yeah, deleted it, actually did make clean; rm -rf config.cache...

also thought it may have been finding the old gd so I deleted every libgd.so on my machine to make sure (locate libgd.so |xargs rm -rf)

[hand]

My phpifno tells me: "GD Version 2.0 or higher"
Your phpinfo shows "GD Version 1.6.2 or higher"

Where is your gd stored? Really --with-gd=/usr/local
and not /usr/local/gd ?
