problems with dynamical imagebuilding

[Anon]

i have a http-server (omni 2.08) with php 4.0 and mysql installed, nothing more.

is that the reason, why i can\'t create any images with php? the codes are ok, i have them from the i-net and on the server of the homepage they work fine. but i get only this red X, when i try to use them on my own server.

Manuals are your friends.

You can't use image functions without the GD library.

ok, i have copied all files of the gd.library 1.8.4 in the same directory, like it was recommended in the install-guide.

and i have added the line
include("gd/gd.c");
to my php-code. but it still doesn't work.

I have still the x, when i want to generate this code:

<? header ("Content-type: image/png");
include ("gd/gd-1.8.4/gd.c");
$im = @ImageCreate (50, 100)
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);

?>

Take out all those horrible '@' signs. They hide all error message and you can spend the rest of 2001 trying to find out why it doesn't work.

<? header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
include ("gd.h");
$breite=100;
$hoehe=100;
$image=imagecreate($breite,$hoehe);
?>

this easy code fails, because php says:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreate()

but which file i have to use with include, that i import all needed functions to create images?

gd.h seems not to be the right one...
