Hi, I've tried to upload a picture using the function
imagecreatefrom gif, with a script as simple as possible to avoid miss
spellings and stuff like that. I've ran the following line of code to
see if my host had the right gd lib, and it was positive:
>
<?PHP print_r(gd_info ()); ?>
>
so if it's not the server, what am i missing?
Here is my tiny script as it looks now:
>
<?php
function billede()
{
$bill = imageCreateFrom GIF ("hindenburg.gi f");
return $bill;
}
billede();
?>

Thanks for your help :)

There was no error message. The screen was just blank.

Are you sure about the file path ? try to add the complete path of the file,
maybe with a if file_exists() to be sure...and print an error message if it
doesn't exists.

maybe with a if file_exists() to be sure...and print an error message if it
doesn't exists.

Now I'm confused. When it executed the following script, the output was
'nonexistant'.

<?php
function billede()
{
if (!file_exists(' hindenburg.gif' ))
{
$bill = imageCreateFrom GIF ('hindenburg.gi f');
return $bill;
}
else
echo "nonexistan t";
}
billede();
?>

However, when I changed 'hindenburg.gif ' to
'moxmormor_org/htdocs/hindenburg.gif' it went blank again.

You shouldn't user a path like this, instead use server variables in order
to be sure:
change moxmormor_org/htdocs/hindenburg.gif
to $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/hindenburg.gif' ;

also be very carefull, on Linux the filesystem is case sensitive, so
hindenburg.gif <hindenburg.G IF

Thank you, but it's still nonexistant. :(

try a echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/hindenburg.gif' to be sure, maybe
your config root is wrong (pointing to the wrong file). Also to be sure, put
everything in a var:

$filename = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/hindenburg.gif' ;
echo $filename;
if(file_exists( $filename))
echo 'file exists';
else
echo 'file doesnt exist';

Are you on linux or XP ?

Pretty strange. Now the output is that the file is nonexistant, then
the full path, then that the file DOES exist.

I'm on a Linux server I'm pretty sure. Since they are operating with
php. My PC is XP.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean for output file ?
the full path is OK, are you sure on case (Linux is case sensitive,
remember), where the file DOES exists ?

PHP can run on XP too, but if it's a professional web hosting, probably it's
on Linux.
On your page I've this result:
nonexistant/var/www/virtual/moxmormor.byeth ost11.com/moxmormor_org/htdocs/hindenburg.gife xistant
why there is a nonexistant and then an existant ? Your code is called twice
?
Could you send the entire code ? I'll check it for you.
I found the moxmormor.byeth ost11.com in your address quite strange altrough.

The output of my commands. The output, as you can see in the code,
tells me that the two paths are alike, but the one exists and the other
doesn't.

the full path is OK, are you sure on case (Linux is case sensitive,
remember), where the file DOES exists ?

yes, I've got everything in the same folder. And I have gained access
to textfiles in that folder before.

Here it is:

{
$bill = imageCreateFrom GIF
('/var/www/virtual/moxmormor.byeth ost11.com/moxmormor_org/htdocs/hindenburg..gif ');
return $bill;
}

echo "nonexistan t";
}
billede();
$filename = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/hindenburg.gif' ;
echo $filename;
if(file_exists( $filename))
echo 'existant';
else
echo 'nonexistant';
?>

Thank you for your effort :)

I found the moxmormor.byeth ost11.com in your address quite strange altrough.

I started with a free account at byethost to check it out. then I
changed to a paid solution, and got my public DNS changed or something.
There is a reasonable explanation, although I don't understand it ;)

What are you expecting the script to do? It doesn't actually do
anything. It just open the gif file and doesn't produce any output.

OK then that's why. I just expected the return statement did the job.
How should i then show the image once I've opened it?

Re: imagecreatefrom gif not working

Try this:

<?php
function billede($filena me){
if(!file_exists ($filename)){
$bill = imageCreateFrom GIF($filename);
return $bill;
}else
echo "file already existent, cannot create new file<br>";
}
$filename = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/hindenburg.gif' ; //this avoid a lot
of problem. Typing manually the file will get you into trouble later...
echo $filename.'<br> ';
$img = billede($filena me);
/*if(file_exists ($filename))
echo 'existant'; //should always be called has it would be created if it
wasn't existent before or already exists.
else
echo 'nonexistant';*/
?>

np.

try this code and let me know.
