Thanks so much for your help! I'm going to try to keep this thread going. There has to be someone out there that knows what to do!

Well...in theory, that code was going to show you the error that was happening. Somehow, you are going to have to read that debugging/error information from PHP on what error is happening. Your IIS error logs may/may not have that info - that may be worth looking into.

It seems that this is an issue with IIS, and that's where my experience stops. Hopefully, somebody with some IIS experience will stop in.

It just opens a popup to save to disk or open in dreamweaver...when I open it in dw it says something like:

We've already established the fact that GD2 is supported on your server because it shows up in phpinfo().

Run the following code, and see what error comes up:

<?php
header (\"Content-type: text/plain\");
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5,  \"A Simple Text String\", $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
 
?>

There has got to be something php is doing wrong on the server. Does anyone else have any ideas about how to fix this problem? Does my server just not support GD2 or something?

Well, this time you know it's your server, I copied that verbatim, and it worked fine.

When I set up PHP on my Windows machine, I had to copy the MySQL dll file into my Windows/system32 directory for it to work. I doubt that would help you because it's already loading (as shown in the phpinfo()), but it may be worth a try.

I might just switch to Apache...we've been talking about it anyways. These issues keep coming up with IIS, and it is so frustrating! I never know if it's my code or the server!

pr0gr4mm3r — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 18:32:17 +0000

Is there any way you could use Apache instead?

Exactly what I see...

When I run phpinfo() that's exactly what I see. This has been nothing but a nightmare (running php on IIS!).

I'm trying to work with the IT manager to figure this out. Usually, what will happen is I will leave on a Friday, with an issue like this, and then "magically" on Monday it will work!

Thanks so much for your help! Any other insights?

So...just to make sure, when you say phpInfo shows it, do you mean that there is an entire section for the gd options? (see attached picture for sample). Just seeing '--with-gd' at the top in the configure options does not mean that it's enabled. I set up a php & MySQL environment on my Windows laptop and had a heck of a time getting it to function properly.

This server runs Ubuntu 7.04, Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc (or LAMP as it's referred to).
