Hello everyone. Im learning PHP, and as you already know i ran into a little problem. I got this software called Alstrasoft E-Friends, and i renamed it EFriends for short and so i don't have the creators name in there. Anyways, long store short, its a community website, and my friends just tried uploading images and both them and me get this message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/jordan/public_html/efriends/user.php on line 926

Now, im not really sure what its doing, or what the problem is... Can anyone please help me out with this? As for the website, if you need anymore information about it, it is located at http://efriends.atcomputers.us I really need to fix this, so if you have any information that i can provide so you can help, please let me know.

Thank you!

imagecreatefromjpeg() is function that comes with GD . You need to compile your PHP with GD before you can use it .

Use a phpinfo() to find if the current PHP is compiled with GD support .

More info on this is available at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

Thanks! So basically i need to install GD Libraries on our web servers correct?

yes . If GD is not installed you'll have to install them first and then compile PHP with "--with-gd" option.

I will get on installing them right now. But compiling? I will have to have a tech do that..

But compiling? I will have to have a tech do that..

If you installed PHP with RPM version, you just need to install the corresponding php-gd rpm . You wont require a tech to do that .

Just create a phpinfo file with the following content .

<?
phpinfo();
?>

And give the link . I would be able to guide you better , after seeing the phpinfo. Also give the RPM versions of php software in your machine.
# rpm -qa | grep php

Look at my picture, i believe it should be working.

Whoa! After updating apache, i now receive a new error! Yikes!

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/jordan/public_html/efriends/functions.php on line 1030

Any suggestions?

This is not an error but a Warning. Paste some code so we can see what is going on. If you didn't write this script yourself, ask the author to fix it for you :)

Ah, i think i figured it out. I just had to clear the website's cookies after updating apache becuase it stored that information in my browser while i was in the process of updating the apache. Thanks for all your help everyone.

:-) Pleasure to know that you were able to solve it yourself.
