Hello,

I want to use your dropshadow class, but it's not working with my config
apache 1.3.7
php 4.2.3

i'm not sure of the version of gd, it gives me 1.6.2 or higher on phpinfo()
but I'm rather sure that it is gd 2 because I use the php4-gd2 package of my debian box

when I try test.dropshadow.php with :
$ds->setShadowPath("./shadows/")
$ds->setDebugging(TRUE)
$ds->setImageType("jpg")
if I use a jpg file I get "Drop-shadowed output image could not be created"
$ds->setImageType("png")
if I use a png file I get "Drop-shadowed output image could not be created"

I have all the permission rigths on all the folders (images and shadows)

What I have missed ?

thanks in advance for your help !

Philippe

Hi Philippe,

Welcome to the board! Cheers for checking out the class - sorry you're having problems with it.

I really think that if PHP is reporting that GD is version 1.6.2 or above then you are using a version < 2.0.0. You should try to reinstall GD... Or maybe try to reconfigure PHP to use the newer GD libraries?

OK I have fixed the problem,
I had libgd1-xpm and libgd2-noxpm installed on my debian box
so I remove libgd1-xpm and libgd2-noxpm and add libgd2-xpm
and now it runs well !!!

Thanks a lot for this class, It is a nice code for me to learn using the php gd library.

Great! Glad you got it to work. You might want to try out the newer version of the class as well, just posted last night and this morning. Lots of updates!
