GD support

[Anon]

I'm trying to see if my GD library works and I keep getting an error.

The file I'm running is:

<?
header ("Content-type: image/gif");
$image = imagecreate( 200,200 );
imagegif ($image);
?>

The error I get is:

<b>Warning</b>: ImageGif: No GIF support in this PHP build

When I compiled PHP 4.0.4 I used this:

./configure --with-gd --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/var/lib/apache/sbin/apxs --enable-gd-imgstrttf

I got no errors during comiliation.

My phpinfo says I have GD enabled:
GD Support enabled
GD Version 1.6.2 or higher
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled

It says I have PNG support enabled, but what about .gif Support?

Anyone have any clues?

GIF support was discontinued, just use imagepng($image) in place of your imagegif and it should create the graphic file just fine.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Devin, it worked!

Now I have another problem getting text on there.

I ./configured PHP with --with-gd --with-ttf and --enable-gd-imgstrttf. However, when I take alook at my phpinfo page, I don't see the --with-ttf! Strange. I even rm config.cache and re-configured/make/make installed it again and still I don't see the --with-ttf option on my phpinfo page. Oh Well, maybe I don't need it.

My program I'm trying to run is:

<?
header ("Content-type: image/png");

$image = imagecreate( 400, 200 );

$red = imagecolorallocate($image,255,0,0);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($image,0,0,255);

$font = "webadmin/fonts/arial.ttf";

imageTTftext ($image, 50, 0, 20, 100, $blue, $font, "Welcome!" );

imagepng ($image);
?>

When I run this, I get just a blank canvas. If I comment out the imageTTftext line, I get the colored rectangle. No text either times.

Anyways, It seems I should have everything installed to output text. You have any ideas?
