Help with host permission thing please

[Nomax5]

Hi,

On one of my hosts the code below works but on the other I can an error, I am wondering if it’s a permissions thing.

It also works fine outputting to the browser but when I try to output the gif to a file I get this error:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  imagegif(): Unable to open 'images/canvasfile.gif' for writing in <b>/nfsn/content/blinkingphoto/htdocs/test.php</b> on line <b>4</b><br />

this is the code any ideas?

[code]
<?php
header ("Content-type: image/gif");
$canvas = imagecreatefromgif("images/bird1.gif");
imagegif($canvas,"images/canvasfile.gif");
imageDestroy($canvas);
echo "file created";
?>
[/code]

I am not very familiar with setting up stuff like this.

Is it to do with the folder permissions in your respective 'images' directories?

I always forget to change them so I can create thumbnails, and have set up code to remind me now.

my images folder is set to 755 on both hosts

Darn.

Not much more I can think of. Could be something to do with gifs? Some hosts don't load the software for those. I think there is some licensing issue. Probably way off here. Can you create a text file on both?

Sorry not to be of any more help here.

I contacted my host and it suddenly started working I guess it was a set up thing
or something so newbie they didn't want to embarress me lol.

thanks for your help SammyP  much appreciated.
