    GD thinks it's installed, but won't work

    I'm running PHP5 on a WinXP box using Apache2. I am having an unusual
    problem and can't find a solution online at all.

    I believe I have enabled the GD module properly. I modified the php.ini
    and restarted apache (and later restarted my computer) to enable the
    php_gd2.dll. When I run phpinfo() and gd_info() I get valid output:

    Array
    (
    [GD Version] =bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
    [FreeType Support] =1
    [FreeType Linkage] =with freetype
    [T1Lib Support] =1
    [GIF Read Support] =1
    [GIF Create Support] =1
    [JPG Support] =1
    [PNG Support] =1
    [WBMP Support] =1
    [XPM Support] =>
    [XBM Support] =1
    [JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support] =>
    )

    The problem, though, is that no gd functions work. I keep getting
    "Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreate()" or any other
    image___() functions. I've tried reinstalling php, restarting the
    computer and apache, disabling and reenabling the dll, all with no
    success. Does anyone have any idea why this GD installation is partial
    and how I can get around it?

    Thanks in advance,

    Bob

      Weird indeed... Just to discard Apache, do you have the same problem when
      running the script from command line?

          Good thought. I just tried it, and got the same result. Call to
          undefined function imagecreate.

              I have functional code now. I'm not sure what the problem was exactly.
              I tried replacing the sample code I had found with slightly different
              sample code, and it worked. I pored over the original code many many
              times and never saw any mistakes with the imagecreate function, so I
              don't know what the deal is. But it works now.
