rnmcd Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Good morning folks. Can someone offer me a quick description of what GD Library is? Is it part of a script or is it something that is loaded on the server-side? The reason I ask is because I am having someone install a classified ads script on my site and he told me, "The GD libraries used in the script do not have support for gif images. Convert them to jpg and they should be OK." Is he mistaken saying the script has the GD libraries? I am trying to find a way have the script support other images besides .jpg. Thank you. Quote
TCH-Dick Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Short answer, it is used for image creation and manipulation. For more info look here http://www.boutell.com/gd/ Quote
rnmcd Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 So it's sounds like it is part of the php version that is installed on the server, right? Do you know which version of the GD Library is installed on the TCH servers? Quote
TCH-Dick Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I'm not sure of the version, let me check. Quote

Do you know which version of the GD Library is installed on the TCH servers? That's correct and should provide support for gif images. GD Version: bundled (2.0.28 compatible) Quote

rnmcd Posted February 1, 2005 Author Posted February 1, 2005 I'm not sure what I need to check to figure out why I can upload .jpgs but when I upload a .gif I get the follow error message: Warning: getimagesize(/home/localme/public_html/images/listing_photos/thumb_94.gif): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/localme/public_html/admin/edit_my_listings.php on line 708 Warning: Division by zero in /home/localme/public_html/admin/edit_my_listings.php on line 714 gif test Would anyone know where I should begin my troubleshooting for this issue?

rnmcd Posted February 1, 2005 Author Posted February 1, 2005 Actually it looks like the problem is more with generating the thumbnail. I think the gif itself uploads fine but the thumbnail has the above error message. Any suggestions? Quote
