Hi,
I've tried to use Captcha on my server (RedHat Enterprise 4) using what came with it (PHP, MYSQL, APACHE) but it didn't display the image (gave me box with cross inside) So I downloaded XAMPP the latest version 1.6 and installed on this server, but still get the same result.
Here is the code that I'm using:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();

<?php

?>I've uploaded it on a remote server and it worked fine. When I ran phpinfo(); on the remote GD was there but not on the local server, I thought XAMP will solve it but it didn't and I don't know how to make it working on Linux, on windows its just remove ; from:
;extension=php_gd2.dllCan you please help me?
Thank you
