Script stops at imagecreatefromjpeg in my script.

[Silencet]

Hi all, I, like alot of others, have been working with a script to create thumbnails, however, i've a problem were the script works, however just stops when it reaches the imagecreatefrom jpeg function, and i've been looking all over for the solution to my problem, for almost 2 days but have yet to find the solution. Maybe i'm just stupid, but i can't figure this out.

Thank You.

Heya, Silencet.

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).

Is your script generating an error? Check out this article to find out what is going on.

Thanks for that refrence, ALOT, i thought you would just echo the result, but it wouldn't.

Anyway the error is that the function is not defined, what do i need?

Heya, Silencet.

Looks like your installation of PHP is not configured with GD support. What's your server's operating system? Are you working on your personal computer, or is it a shared/dedicated/VPS host?

[Silencet]

Well im using a Personal Computer, i know about GD but how do i use it with PHP

Can we have a look at your code?

:)

ok, i don't know why that would, help but right now i looks like so

<?php

$img = getimagesize($file);

switch($img[2])
{
	case 1:
		$image = imagecreatefromgif($file);
	break;
	case 2:
		$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
	break;
	case 3:
		$image = imagecreatefrompng($file);
	break;
	default:
		echo "NO VALID FORMAT";
	break;
}
echo "HERE";

?>

im using the echo here part to check if it got past the switch part

You need to check is GD is installed.

make a file 'phpinfo.php'

[code=php]
<?phpinfo?>
[/code]

Run it and search for the section on GD it'll tell you whether it's enabled or not :)

[Silencet]

that code doesn't do anything, maybe im missing somthing for that. How would i know it is enabled, is it in the ini file i've already uncommented the php_gd.dll line.

[Silencet]

ok i figured out the php info, and it is indicating that it is shared, i don't know whether or not that means it is enabled though

Heya, Silencet.

Run the PHP installer again and choose the option to repair your installation.

Check the box for GD support and click next.

[Silencet]

It never prompted me with the option for gd support, so how would i set it up

[Silencet]

So do i need the source files to rebuild php with gd in it?

[pbmods]

Heya, Silencet.

Try changing

extension=php_gd.dll

to

extension=php_gd2.dll

in php.ini.

[Silencet]

It already is php_gd2.dll, plus, i don't think i have that file
