Hi All,
I'm having an issue with using GD in my PHP script. Following is the script:
**************************
<?php
// set up image
$height = 200;
$width = 200;
$im = imagecreate($width, $height);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 64);
//draw on image
imagefill($im, 0, 0, $blue);
imageline($im, 0, 0, $width, $height, $white);
imagestring($im, 4, 50, 150, 'Sales', $white);
//output image
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($im);
//clean-up
imagedestroy($im);
?>
**************************
All of this is within the "body" tags. When I run this (through Dreamweaver) I get the following displayed on the screen:
"The image “http://localhost/simplegraph.php” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors."
What errors are there? I checked the phpinfo(); script, and it DOES show that I have gd enabled. I looked at my Apache error logs and I don't see anything telling me about THIS error. I tried other sample codes and I get the exact same error message. What could I possibly be doing wrong? Do I need that mcimage software? Of note, I noticed that I'm NOT able to write, for example, "ImageCreateTrueColor" as is...I must write all of the commands in small caps (imagecreatetruecolor). Could that be a sign of trouble? (I'm using Windows XP Professional...yes, I know, and I'll be moving to the Mac OS in a few months.) Thanks.

This can not work in <body></body> You have to include it as an image.
| Code: |
...
<body>
....
<img src="your.php" with="200" height="200" alt="your text" border="0" />
...
</body>

James,
That doesn't work either. The funny thing is that I downloaded GDGraph from Hotscripts and THAT works just fine. I tried every code you posted including the one from the PHP site. Thanks, though.

Do you have a PHP.LOG file you could refer to?
Check that and the server logs as well as even maybe the Windows event viewer (I am grasping on that one).
Finally, did you kick out the preceeding header such as:
| Code: | header( 'content-type: image/pjpeg' );
header( 'content-type: image/gif');
... and so on... |
This would be done within the image generating script, so if your script does not tell the browser what to expect, then it wont necessarily know how or what to display. |
