lost jpeg functionality

[Simon Redmond]

my hosting provider just upgraded the server and now some of my scripts
don't work....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefrom jpeg()

What do I need to look for in order to make sure I still have this
functionality, version is php 4.3.3
should I look for something specific in the output from phpinfo()???

Thanks for all your help

Yes. Look at the configure command There should be a '--with-gd'
somewhere in the configuration line. More information about the
configuration of gd should be some blocks down in the phpinfo().

My host keeps doing this to me. For some reason they don't build GD into PHP
whenever they do a rebuild (every few months). In the past it's taken up to 2
weeks for me to notice that the scripts aren't working. I've asked them to
email me when they make changes to the server, so I can make sure my scripts
still work. They never do. So I now use IF (function_exist s()), with an array
of functions I need. If the function doesn't exist, a nicely-formatted error
message is displayed on the screen explaining that my host has made changes
again, screwed up the server and the script will no longer work. It also
mentions that I have been notified and the problem will be remedied shortly. I
put similar code into a cron job that runs every half hour. If the functions
don't exist, I get an email. You might want to consider doing this. I wish I'd
done it a year ago.

Shawn

Hi,

I call this function where I want a warning message to go, with the name of the

The following script mails me if something one or more functions in

lists the functions that don't work. It's set to run every half hour.

I probably should have mentioned: ;o)

IF ANYONE USES THIS SCRIPT, PLEASE CHANGE THE EMAIL ADDRESSES _BEFORE_ YOU
TEST!!!

I am receiving emails telling me functions aren't working.
