Hello list I'd like to make a thumbnaile list using some gifs. I use the following code but I got error (Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromgif() ). Does anybody knows what's wrong? [snip]

gif support was removed from gd in 1.6*. It was re-added in 2.0.28. This is all due to the Unisys patent on the LZW compression that gifs use. short answer - you just don't have support for making gifs, it was a licensing issue at the time the software you're using was released/packaged. Upgrade gd. * funny, since gd stood for 'gif draw' originally. cheers, -- - Martin Norland, Sys Admin / Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
