My webserver uses: PHP Version 4.4.2 Zend Optimizer v2.5.10 GD Support enabled GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible) FreeType Support enabled FreeType Linkage with freetype GIF Read Support enabled GIF Create Support enabled JPG Support enabled PNG Support enabled WBMP Support enabled XBM Support enabled I am simply tring to use imagecreatefromgif() to create a gif. I keep getting the following error: Warning: imagecreatefromgif(): '/home/omnipcs/public_html/devel/example/components/com_mtree/img/listings/34_test.gif' is not a valid GIF file in /home/omnipcs/public_html/devel/example/components/com_example/includes/example.image.functions.php on line 36 The file is indeed where it should be, it exists, and is a gif that I JUST created in photoshop. I cannot seem to get around this error and I have found nothing on the web to help me. Can anyone here shed any light onto why I am getting this error? This is how the function is being called: $logo = imagecreatefromgif($image); Image points to: /home/omnipcs/public_html/devel/example/components/com_mtree/img/listings/34_test.gif Which like I said, exists and is in fact a gif. I have even gone so far as to try this all using jpg's. I don't get any errors but my resultant image is blank. What gives?
