undefined function

Hi,

How can some function be undefined or not found in a php version which supports them?

For example imagettfbbox (PHP 3 >= 3.0.1, PHP 4, PHP 5) is undfed undefined even though my php is  4.4.2.

The function is part of an extension which may not be installed in your copy of PHP.  In this case it's the GD extension.  The main page for a group of functions will tell you if you need a particular extension to use that set of functions.

At http://sg.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php you will see:

[quote]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.[/quote]

If you are using a binary distribution, then how you enable this extension will depend on your distribution.
