This is causing an error. Is this function > not included inside the gd version? No, it is not included in gd any more. You have two options: - Enable the php internal gd implementation when you compile php. It includes read support for gif. Note that if you use mod_perl within the same apache server you cannot use the internal implementation as it would conflict with the external library used by perl GD module. - Patch your gd to include gif support, for example with patches from here: http://www.iki.fi/hyvatti/sw/ or here: http://www.rime.com.au/gd/ Now compile your php with this. Google for 'gd patch patent gif' for these answers. Jaakko -- Foreca Ltd Jaakko.Hyvatti@foreca.com Pursimiehenkatu 29-31 B, FIN-00150 Helsinki, Finland http://www.foreca.com
