I always get NULL as a result while I expected a image resource id or false (if it would fail). I've run phpinfo and noticed that GD is full supported. I checked all logfiles, eventlogs, but I couldn't find any errors. I tried it with several jpg-files (small, medium, large), bit I was unable to load them with the functions. The memory limit is set to 2048, so that can't be the issue. Any idea what's missing here? Test script: --------------- $image = imagecreatefromjpeg('photo.jpg'); var_dump($image); Expected result: ---------------- false or a image resource Actual result: -------------- NULL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73389&edit=1
