The code provided isnt the correct code AFAIK to create image with gd. Prehaps a have read of [url=http://www.design-ireland.net/graphics/imagery-15.php]this[/url] tutorial. That tutorial shows you how to create basics shapes with PHP GD.

i test the following code  and take it copy and paste to ensure code is rigth  but the result is
[code]‰PNG  [/code]


the code
****************
[code]
<?php

// example1.php

// set the HTTP header type to PNG
header("Content-type: image/png");

// set the width and height of the new image in pixels
$width = 350;
$height = 360;

// create a pointer to a new true colour image
$im = ImageCreateTrueColor($width, $height);

// sets background to red
$red = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
ImageFillToBorder($im, 0, 0, $red, $red);

// send the new PNG image to the browser
ImagePNG($im);

// destroy the reference pointer to the image in memory to free up resources
ImageDestroy($im);

?>[/code]

Looks fine - when I ran it I got a red square.

Try putting this code on another page in the same folder

<img src="example.php">

no result ..wat i do ?

[AndyB]

What does 'no result' mean?  The script hung?  You got a blank page? You got no image displayed? You got a 'missing' image displayed?

[ahmed17]

when i run this code
[code]<?php

// example1.php

// set the HTTP header type to PNG
header("Content-type: image/png");

// set the width and height of the new image in pixels
$width = 350;
$height = 360;

// create a pointer to a new true colour image
$im = ImageCreateTrueColor($width, $height);

// sets background to red
$red = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
ImageFillToBorder($im, 0, 0, $red, $red);

// send the new PNG image to the browser
ImagePNG($im);

// destroy the reference pointer to the image in memory to free up resources
ImageDestroy($im);

?>[/code]


the result of this code is      [quote] ‰PNG  [/quote]  so no result clear

When I run exactly the same code using Firefox, I see a large red square.

I'd say there's something wrong with your GD library and/or set-up. Time to ask your web host for assistance

[wildteen88]

Rather than creating a PNG, maybe your browser doesnt support PNG. try a jpeg image instead so use:
[code=php:0]
// example1.php

// set the HTTP header type to JPEG
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

// set the width and height of the new image in pixels
$width = 350;
$height = 360;

// create a pointer to a new true colour image
$im = ImageCreateTrueColor($width, $height);

// sets background to red
$red = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
ImageFillToBorder($im, 0, 0, $red, $red);

// send the new GIF image to the browser
Imagejpeg($im);

// destroy the reference pointer to the image in memory to free up resources
ImageDestroy($im);[/code]

Goto example.php you should get a red box. Also what does this return:
[code]<?php echo '<pre>' . print_r(gd_info(), true) . '</pre>'; ?>[/code]

Also what OS is your server running on, *nix (linux, unix, mac) or Windows?

[ahmed17]

when i use this code
[code]<?php echo '<pre>' . print_r(gd_info(), true) . '</pre>'; ?>[/code]


the result is

Array
(
    [GD Version] => bundled (2.0 compatible)
    [FreeType Support] => 1
    [FreeType Linkage] => with freetype
    [T1Lib Support] =>
    [GIF Read Support] =>
    [GIF Create Support] =>
    [JPG Support] => 1
    [PNG Support] => 1
    [WBMP Support] => 1
    [XBM Support] =>
)

[Barand]

Do you have error reporting switched off?

Put this at top of the script
[code]

error_reporting(E_ALL);

[/code]

[AndyB]

Well, just to close out the loop of my results - example1.php generates the image that I can see running Firefox 1.0.7 (unchanged since I downloaded it) on a PC with Win2K Pro.

[ahmed17]

if any server program like AppServ support gd libary( work on loca)l ..plz tell me

[AndyB]

ok  :)...wat i do know ?

[AndyB]

I'll tell you what I do.  GD doesn't run on my local machine either, so I do all of my final GD testing on a live web server off in a separate test folder. 

[ahmed17]

thanks AndyB more :D
Gd work on a live web server  now .. but testing script will take long time if i design it and then upload to test ....for this perphas i ask how i  can test gd on local machine

[AndyB]

OK, start a new topic. I suggest titling it "GD on localhost" so everyone will know what you're trying to do.

State exactly what you have for the server O/S, what version of php you're running, and that you have GD2 as part of the package and quote the GD info that you quoted earlier in this thread.  That should get you the assistance you need (let's hope).
