Hi;

I have no clue about setting up PHP on a server. I am at the mercy of the faceless (but wise) gurus who do such things for the school system for which I work.

I'm probably one of the few folks working in .php on our servers. A new server was put in place back in June with newer version of MySQL and php (5.2.0) and I have been able to re-write most of my stuff so it works.

BUT I am currently trying to do some stuff with images that need to be rotated from time to time, and any time I try to write a script that uses the function imagerotate() I get errors like

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagerotate() in /usr/local/www/htdocs/psi2/test/rotatepic2.php on line 4"

I get similar complaints regrarding the various image functions when I try to use PNG files

What (real specific) stuff do I need to ask the greybacks to check/do to get such functions working?

Thanks for your advice.

    Well do the SA's know anything about PHP? If so, it could be as simple as asking them to recompile PHP with GD support. If not... eh, then it gets a bit trickier. You could try simply pointing them to the PHP manual page [man]image.setup[/man] for guidance, and hopefully they're good little SA's and know enough about dependency packages/libraries and all that jazz.

    Just don't forget that we nerds hate to be told how to do our jobs, so tread softly. :p
