KakkArlak Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi, So I have an Ubuntu 9.10 box, with php 5.2.10 on it.. It used to have CentOs and php 5.0.x or 5.1.x on it. Now, some older websites are using stuff like smarty imagetext which uses functions like imagecreatetruecolor, imagecolorallocate, imagecolorallocatealpha, imagealphablending, imagefill, imagettfbbox etc! They are now giving Warnings (and not working) like <b>Warning</b>: imagettfbbox() [<a href='function.imagettfbbox'>function.imagettfbbox</a>]: Could not read font in <b>/mnt/websites/optimalenergy/website/library/classes/3rdparty/smarty/smarty_custom_plugins/shared.imagetext.php</b> on line <b>165</b><br /> </font><font color=#ff0000><br /> <b>Warning</b>: imagecreatetruecolor() [<a href='function.imagecreatetruecolor'>function.imagecreatetruecolor</a>]: Invalid image dimensions in <b>/mnt/websites/optimalenergy/website/library/classes/3rdparty/smarty/smarty_custom_plugins/shared.imagetext.php</b> on line <b>186</b><br /> </font><font color=#ff0000><br /> <b>Warning</b>: imagecreatetruecolor() [<a href='function.imagecreatetruecolor'>function.imagecreatetruecolor</a>]: Invalid image dimensions in <b>/mnt/websites/optimalenergy/website/library/classes/3rdparty/smarty/smarty_custom_plugins/shared.imagetext.php</b> on line <b>187</b><br /> </font><font color=#ff0000><br /> <b>Warning</b>: imagecolorallocate(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in <b>/mnt/websites/optimalenergy/website/library/classes/3rdparty/smarty/smarty_custom_plugins/shared.imagetext.php</b> on line <b>194</b><br /> </font><font color=#ff0000><br /> <b>Warning</b>: imagecolorallocate(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in <b>/mnt/websites/optimalenergy/website/library/classes/3rdparty/smarty/smarty_custom_plugins/shared.imagetext.php</b> on line <b>195</b><br /> </font><font color=#ff0000><br /> <b>Warning</b>: imagecolorallocatealpha(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in <b>/mnt/websites/optimalenergy/website/library/classes/3rdparty/smarty/smarty_custom_plugins/shared.imagetext.php</b> on line <b>201</b><br /> </font><font color=#ff0000><br /> phpInfo() says: gd GD Support enabled GD Version 2.0 or higher FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype FreeType Version 2.3.9 T1Lib Support enabled GIF Read Support enabled GIF Create Support enabled JPG Support enabled PNG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled and imagick imagick module enabled imagick module version 2.1.1-rc1 imagick classes Imagick, ImagickDraw, ImagickPixel, ImagickPixelIterator ImageMagick version ImageMagick 6.5.8-10 2010-06-07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org ImageMagick copyright Copyright (C) 1999-2010 ImageMagick Studio LLC ImageMagick release date 2010-06-07 ImageMagick Number of supported formats: 0 The supported number of formats = 0 ? Which one is my problem here? I tried to compile php to use the embedded gd library (the old server had that) by following http://www.howtoforge.com/recompiling-php5-with-bundled-support-for-gd-on-ubuntu But I kept getting errors and it didn't seem worth it to keep trying, hence I'm asking here. So, is the new php my problem? Or the fact that GD isn't using the embedded library, or the imagick isntallation? Please advise!

KakkArlak Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 So, here's what I did: downloaded php 5.2.8 source from php.net, extracted, ran the following : ./configure --with-gd=shared --enable-gd-native-ttf make make test make install php -i | grep "5.2.8" shows that it's there, but phpInfo says otherwise?? What did I miss? phpInfo says "PHP Version 5.2.10-2ubuntu6.4" which was on before I did this make install, and before I did that, I did "apt-get purge php5" .. I've rebooted twice also Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204260-install-older-php-version-or-use-embedded-gd-library/#findComment-1070225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Have you configured Apache to use the manually installed version? I'm still not really sure this is a wise thing to do.

KakkArlak Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Have you configured Apache to use the manually installed version? I'm still not really sure this is a wise thing to do. What would you suggest? Because I can't see any other solution :-/ ... (my linux experience is limited though, only been learning as I go along, since Jan 2010 ) And, where would I configure it to do that? I actually dunno what it's using at the moment. Because php5 is "apt-get purge php5" 'd, but phpInfo says it's still on that version. (5.2.10), the one I "built" was 5.2.8 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204260-install-older-php-version-or-use-embedded-gd-library/#findComment-1070242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakkArlak Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ok, nevermind that. I've got php 5.2.10 installed with the bundled GD library... But the smarty imagetext still isn't working. Only guess that I have left, is that imagemagick isn't working properly? Reason I'm saying that, is, because from phpInfo, the "number of supported formats", is 0 ... although it is installed. So something went wrong with the installation. What would be the best/standard way to install it? Because apt-get install php5-imagick didn't do it for me...
