note 45488 added to function.imagettftext

If you compiled PHP yourself (I'm running 5), but get a Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagettftext(). error, you need to compile PHP with more options. Specifically I ended up using: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/etc/httpd/bin/apxs --with-gd --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-png --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib/zlib-1.2.1 --with-ttf --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib/jpeg-6b/ --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib/freetype-2.1.9/ --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6/ Obviously (or not, depending on your experiance level) the MySQL option isn't required for this, the apxs option will vary depending on your apache version and install location. The next set deal with setting up GD, and the apropriate options. Just enabling GD, ttf, png & jpeg is NOT enough. You also need Freetype and XPM. If you set all of that up, and end up with config errors with regards to X11 you may also need the XFree86 development package (on an RPM based distro up2date -i XFree86-devel should work wonders). It would be awesome if the php manual included (or made it more obviously included if it is there already) information on what options are needed at compile time for each function to work. good luck paul reinheimer (preinheimer.com) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45488 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45488&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45488&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
