[jd2007]

ok...i coded this :

 

<?php
include("C:\AppServ\php5\ext\php_gd2.dll");
$im = @imagecreate(10, 2)
    or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5,  "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
imagepng($im);
?>  

 

the output is this :

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=16) state=1 in C:\AppServ\php5\ext\php_gd2.dll on line 5132

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in C:\AppServ\php5\ext\php_gd2.dll on line 5132

include("C:\AppServ\php5\ext\php_gd2.dll");

 

the output is a blank page...why ? pls help...

why do you want to include a DLL file? if you want to enable the GD function go to your php.ini then uncomment extension=php_gd2.dll

i did that...but it's still not working.

did you specify where php will look for the extensions?

 

in your php.ini, put this

 

extension_dir="C:/AppServ/php5/ext/"

pls tell me on which section of php.ini to i need to specify the directory for php to look for...

extension_dir="C:/AppServ/php5/ext/"
