gd lib not working - any ideas?

[Anon]

hey all,

does anybody have a clue:
my host is running gd lib >1.62 but somehow it doesn't seem to work. the following function for testing image support returns 'no ... support' for either kind of image.

<?php
if (ImageTypes() & IMG_PNG) {echo 'PNG Support is enabled<br>';}
else {echo 'no PNG support<br>';}
if (ImageTypes() & IMG_JPG) {echo 'JPG Support is enabled<br>';}
else {echo 'no JPG support<br>';}
if (ImageTypes() & IMG_GIF) {echo 'GIF Support is enabled<br>';}
else {echo 'no GIF support<br>';}
?>

at least there's no GIF support, so there's at least one thing working as it should ;-)

my host's support team doesn't have a clue why there is no image support and hence they can't fix it. if anyone could give me a hint, i could pass it to them... hopefully.

thanks in advance,
have fun

try to start the GD module directly

DL("php_gd.dll");

before you execute any syntaxes from the GD module.
