[Resolved] PHP on Windows - GD library

oskargunn · May 13, 2005

Hello everybody,

I´ve been trying all morning to get the GD library to work but in vain
I´m using php 4 which is supposed to have the gd2 library included, I uncommented the extension=php_gd2.dll reference in php.ini

I create index.php file with the following code:

grid.php looks like this: (taken from he php.net site)

<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(100, 50)
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

When I run index.php on my server I only get a box with the red cross in it, as if the server doesnt´find the image.

I have failed to find any checklist online that can gudie me through this, do you guys see if I´m doing anything wrong ?

One suggestion I'd have is that you move the header line down a bit:

<?php
$im = @imagecreate(100, 50)
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

So that you only send the image/png header if there really is an image to send. That way the browser won't try and interpret the string "Cannot Initialize new GD image stream" as PNG data.

And I'd take the error-message-suppressing '@' off until you're sure it's working.

bradgrafelman · May 13, 2005

Definitely go with Weedpacket's suggestion; we WANT the script to have as much chance of erroring out at this point so we can see what's going on, so the error surpressor should be used only when in a production environment and you'd rather make it look nice and neat.

Another suggestion would be to look for EMPTY LINES or SPACES before or after the <?PHP ?> tags in grid.php, as these will output the headers before your script has a chance to do so. I find this is a common error when people are trying to use headers/GD.

oskargunn · May 13, 2005

I´ve changed grid.php into this now:

<?php
$im = @imagecreate(100, 50);
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

There are no spaces ot empty lines between <?php and ?> and I´ve taken the "or die" command away. Still I only receive a red cross. Is it correctly assumed that the only thing I should need to do is to uncommend the dll reference in php.ini in order to activate the gd library? and yes, I have restarted the Apache server.

oskargunn · May 13, 2005

I think the library works in a way. I got this code from php.net

<?php

function miniature($pict, $dest_pict){

$handle = @imagecreatefromjpeg($pict);

$x=imagesx($handle);
$y=imagesy($handle);

   if($x > $y){                                
           $max = $x;                          
           $min = $y;                          
   }                                          
   if($x <= $y){                                
           $max = $y;                          
           $min = $x;                          
   }

//$size_in_pixel : Size max of the label in pixel. The size of the picture being
//proportional to the original, this value define maximum size
//of largest side with dimensions of the picture. Sorry for my english !

//Here $size_in_pixel = 100 for a thumbnail.
$size_in_pixel = '100';

   $rate = $max/$size_in_pixel;
   $final_x = $x/$rate;
   $final_y = $y/$rate;

   if($final_x > $x) {
           $final_x = $x;
           $final_y = $y;
   }

   $final_x = ceil($final_x);
   $final_y = ceil($final_y);

   $black_picture = imageCreatetruecolor($final_x,$final_y);
   imagefill($black_picture,0,0,imagecolorallocate($black_picture, 255, 255, 255));
   imagecopyresampled($black_picture, $handle, 0, 0, 0, 0,$final_x, $final_y, $x, $y);

   if(!@imagejpeg($black_picture,$dest_pict.'/mini_'.$pict, $size_in_pixel))
   imagestring($black_picture, 1, $final_x-4, $final_y-8, ".", imagecolorallocate($black_picture,0,0,0));

   //The number is the quality of the result picture
   imagejpeg($black_picture,'', '100');
/*   imagedestroy($handle);
   imagedestroy($black_picture);*/

}

$pict = "c:\webroot\vartala.jpg";
$dest_pict = "c:\";
miniature($pict, $dest_pict);

?>

$x and $y contain the right information, so GD works in a way, but when I try imagejpeg(....) I get a bunch of characters on tghe sceen and the ciomputer starts beeping constantly.... resulting in a system restart. I´m completely baffled about his

bradgrafelman · May 14, 2005

Do a phpinfo() and tell us what it says about the GD library.

Also, can we have a link to this page?

Lastly, why did you get rid of the 'or die' code? That was what we were going for, so that we could see if there were errors...

Weedpacket · May 14, 2005

I didn't mean for you to take of the die() statement, I meant for you to take off the '@' that was blocking any error message that might have been generated by imagecreate().

In fact, while I think about it, just for the sake of argument, comment out the header() line completely. If you get as far as seeing a load of gibberish that starts with PNG
, then we'll know we're on the right track.

oskargunn · May 17, 2005

Here is the phpinfo(). Can´t seem to find gd mntioned there even though I´ve uncommented the reference in php.ini
I put it in 2 posts because the message is too long.....

Are you sure the "c:\php\extensions\" directory exists and contains the file "php_gd2.dll" ? Double check and let us know. Also, post the line in the PHP.ini that you uncommented/enabled GD on.

EDIT: Also, try copying all of the .DLL files in 'c:\php\dlls\' to 'c:\windows\system32\' (replace c:\windows\ with the path you installed Windows to if that is not correct).

Does the code I mentioned on the top work in your browser ? That is if you have apache installed. Does it perhaps matter which version of apache ?

EDIT: I also put the ddls in system32 directory and tried it again, but in vain....

bradgrafelman · May 17, 2005

What happens when you make a file with 'gd_info();' as the contents?

oskargunn · May 18, 2005

Contents: <?php gd_info();
C:\webroot>php -f 1.php

Contents: <?php echo gd_info();

C:\webroot>php -f 1.php
Array
C:\webroot>

According to this gd must be disabled :queasy:

Weedpacket · May 18, 2005

No, [man]gd_info[/man] returns an array. And that's what it's echoing. If the function didn't exist you'd get an error message saying that the function doesn't exist (error messages are funny that way). The fact that you are getting an array says that the function is there. Now you want to see what's in the array (hint: see example 1 of the page linked to above).

oskargunn · May 18, 2005

Darn dummy me I had tried that example before. This is when I run that example:

array(11) {
["GD Version"]=>
string(27) "bundled (2.0.15 compatible)"
["FreeType Support"]=>
bool(true)
["FreeType Linkage"]=>
string(13) "with freetype"
["T1Lib Support"]=>
bool(false)
["GIF Read Support"]=>
bool(true)
["GIF Create Support"]=>
bool(false)
["JPG Support"]=>
bool(true)
["PNG Support"]=>
bool(true)
["WBMP Support"]=>
bool(true)
["XBM Support"]=>
bool(true)
["JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support"]=>
bool(false)
}

EDIT: Just tied the Hagan Fox script and it´s confirmed that I have version 2 installed.

Even i had the same problem with GD

Are you sure the php_gd2.dll file is in your
C:\WINNT\system32

search your system and find all php.ini files, my doubt is that you may not be modifing the active version. you can check the ini path with phpinfo();

you've done correct by un commenting the line in the ini file and make sure php_gd2.dll is in the extension directory

phpinfo() will also have a GD section once it's properly installed.

try to change the path of the extension library in php.ini from:
extension_dir = "c:\php"
to:
extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions"

Hope that helps

oskargunn · May 19, 2005

Wow, I´ve never had so much trouble installing a product! I´ve copied every single dll file including php_gd2.dll into system32. In phpinfo.ini the config path was pointing towards c:\windows, so I replaced the ini file there with the one I have in c:\php
I´ve double checked whether the directory extensions in php exists and whether php_gd2.dll is there.

in the ini file the extension path is :
extension_dir = "c:\php\extensions\"
Notice the extra backslash at the end.

Still the gd section won´t appear in phpinfo().

Now you say it will appear in phpinfo() once it´s properly installed. I was under the impression that I don´t need to install GD, only uncomment the reference in the ini file, please correct me if I´m wrong

gthri · May 19, 2005

Are u working on the correct php.ini file?
make sure u restart ur webserver once u have done modifications to your php.ini file.

oskargunn · May 19, 2005

YESS!!!! finally. I did forget to restart the webserver once I replaced the ini file in c:\windows

Thanks for the help!!
