Update. does GD support just need to be enabled? is that the issue? Will that be pretty basic if i ask my web host to enable GD support?

so i've been looking at this for a couple hours now, it's really bugging me. Im using the above function, and it works on two of my servers, but not on the all important third one that i need it on.

Third server is running php 4.3.2 if that helps. i get the following error when running the script

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg()

any idea why this is crashing? im thinking it's something to do with the server/php.ini file but i don't have much knowledge in that area. Stressing me big time, have this due today

Very likely. Run this script.

PHP Code:

<?php 
   php_info(INFO_MODULES);
   echo "<br><br>GD INFO:<br><br>";
   var_dump(gd_info()); 
?>

strungoutyeh - Yes, you look like you just need to get GD enabled on your server. Honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't pre-enabled. If you ask your host to enable it, they really shouldn't have a problem doing so.

You could also write a simple script that sees whether that function exists on your server at all:

PHP Code:

<?php
if(function_exists('imagecreatefromjpeg')) {
echo 'It exists!';
} else {
echo 'It doesn\'t exist :(';
}
?>
