GD - I can't create images on my linux box.

It appears to be installed properly and works fine on windows...

[theboywhogotlost]

When I try to create the simplist img the browser download a empty .php page...

phpinfo(); produces...

here is my code. imager.png does exist.

<snipped urls>

image uploaded in binary mode, php file in ascii

<?php

header("Content-type: image/png");
$string = 'testdddddddddddddddddd';
$im = imagecreatefrompng("imager.png");
$orange = imagecolorallocate($im, 220, 210, 60);
$px = (imagesx($im) - 7.5 * strlen($string)) / 2;
imagestring($im, 3, $px, 9, $string, $orange);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);

?>

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, theboywhogotlost.

The code looks fine and I tested it on both a Windows server and on a *nix server without issue. Have you tried turning up your error_reporting() [php.net] to see if you are receiving any errors or have you checked your server logs for any errors?

[theboywhogotlost]

yes, I set

error_reporting(E_ALL);

at the top of the script and I still get a completly blank page when calling it.

my error logs also are empty...

Do you see anything wrong with my GD setup...

[coopster]

Looks fine to me. Maybe it is a browser issue? Did you try clearing the browser cache?

[theboywhogotlost]

It's not a browser issue, I've tried it at work at home and a friend tried it...

It's got to be somthing with my php installation(I would think).

[coopster]

Perhaps it is your image installation [php.net] then.

To enable GD-support configure PHP

--with-gd[=DIR]

, where DIR is the GD base install directory. To use the recommended bundled version of the GD library (which was first bundled in PHP 4.3.0), use the configure option

--with-gd

. GD library requires libpng and libjpeg to compile.

Maybe try recompiling, taking careful note of installation instructions? I don't know where else to advise right now except this route as the code looks correct.

>>> Perhaps it is your image installation then.

Try this to see what you get:

var_dump(gd_info());

[theboywhogotlost]

I'm using php version: PHP 4.3.10

var_dump(gd_info());

reasulted in:

array(11) {
["GD Version"]=>
string(13) "2.0 or higher"
["FreeType Support"]=>
bool(true)
["FreeType Linkage"]=>
string(13) "with freetype"
["T1Lib Support"]=>
bool(false)
["GIF Read Support"]=>
bool(true)
["GIF Create Support"]=>
bool(true)
["JPG Support"]=>
bool(true)
["PNG Support"]=>
bool(true)
["WBMP Support"]=>
bool(true)
["XBM Support"]=>
bool(false)
["JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support"]=>
bool(false)
}

[theboywhogotlost]

I think this is why...

Configuration summary for gd 2.0.33:

Support for PNG library: yes
Support for JPEG library: yes
Support for Freetype 2.x library: no
Support for Fontconfig library: no
Support for Xpm library: yes
Support for pthreads: yes

Check permissions on imager.png.

[theboywhogotlost]

Permissions are fine...
