getting ImageCreateFromJPEG to work

ahhhh - please help

[smithydude]

This problem is driving me up the wall!

Whatever I do I can't get this function to work - it results in an error 500 (internal server error). I just don't know how to start resolving this!

Any help please!

You must ensure that the GD library is installed.

Also, posting your code here will help to see where the problem is.

Pull a phpinfo() on your site to verify the GD toolkit is present (don't post entire results here.)

Are you creating too large an image? GD builds an uncompressed bitmap in memory, and PHP has limits . . . a second vote that relevant code will help.
