Hi gang: Call to undefined function imagettftext() My first assumption was that the college did not have the GD library installed, but that was not true. Using the following script: <?php echo('<pre>'); var_dump(gd_info()); echo('</pre>'); ?> On both servers produces: College: http://citw.lcc.edu/~sperlt/citw185/examples/a1.php and PHP1.net http://php1.net/a1.php I do see some differences in the settings, but I don't know if these are causing the error generated -- AND -- I do not know where I can go to change the GD settings IF that is needed. Any suggestions as to what I should do -- or -- what is wrong?

Looking at your gd_info output you can see that your college server has: ["FreeType Support"]=> bool(false) And the "php1.net" one has: ["FreeType Support"]=> bool(true) The TTF in the imagettftext function name stands for TrueTypeFont which is only supported in GD if PHP was compiled --with-freetype-dir=xxx or --enable-gd-native-ttf. Clearly one was, and the other wasn't.
