imageARC

[alwaysyour]

I am trying to create arc it gives error , ihave did anything worny ?.

<?php
int imagearc (int $im="0", int $cx="0", int cy="0", int $w="15", int $h="15", int $s, int $e="5", int $col="20")
?>

With typing like that I'm not surprised you've got errors. Frankly I don't believe this is for real; the set of people who would write that in the first place, and the set of people who've written enough PHP to have even heard of imagearc(), are surely disjoint.

As per php manual http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/function.imagearc.php

error
Parse error: parse error in c:\apache\htdocs\dsouza\image.php on line 2

Is there anything wrong.

alwaysyour you have taken the example on the page to literal when it says int cx it doesn't mean type in int. have a look at this code

$diameter = 50;
imagearc($image, 25, 25, $diameter, $diameter, $start, $end, $color);
while($diameter > 0)
{
 imagearc($image, 25, 25, $diameter, $diameter, $start, $start + 1, $color);
 imagearc($image, 25, 25, $diameter, $diameter, $end - 1, $end, $color);
 $diameter--;
}

not my code. Im not sure were I got this from.

Mark.

ps. weedpacket whats with the hostile presence?? It looks to me like someone has either bitten off way more than they can chew. Or has jumped in at the deep end and started to sink very quickly. I do agree that anyone writing this sort of code should be able to interperate the manual a little better.

Still there is an error undefine function

Then you probably haven't complied the correct libraries. and thats a whole differen't forum. ( In other words I can't remember how to do it )

Just imagine what the rest of the code must look like if alwaysyour doesn't see what is wrong on this line (and why would the whole language syntax change for this one line?).

ok weedpacket I will conceed the point that any one who codes to this standard must need some serious help. and that the image commands are not the best to start coding php with. But from the look of it the problem goes much further than that to the server itself. So you were right when you said

image functions need the php_gd (or php_gd2) graphics extension.

Either uncomment the appropriate line in your php.ini file in the extensions section

or, at the beginning of your script put

dl ('php_gd.dll');

If you are using a nix box then it's dl ('php_gd.so');
