All I'm getting is a blank page. <php? function create_image() { //Let's generate a totally random string using md5 $md5_hash = md5(rand(0,999)); //We don't need a 32 character long string so we trim it down to 5 $security_code = substr($md5_hash, 15, 5); //Set the session to store the security code $_SESSION["security_code"] = $security_code; //Set the image width and height $width = 100; $height = 20; //Create the image resource $image = ImageCreate($width, $height); //We are making three colors, white, black and gray $white = ImageColorAllocate($image, 255, 255, 255); $black = ImageColorAllocate($image, 0, 0, 0); $grey = ImageColorAllocate($image, 204, 204, 204); //Make the background black ImageFill($image, 0, 0, $black); //Add randomly generated string in white to the image ImageString($image, 3, 30, 3, $security_code, $white); //Throw in some lines to make it a little bit harder for any bots to break ImageRectangle($image,0,0,$width-1,$height-1,$grey); imageline($image, 0, $height/2, $width, $height/2, $grey); imageline($image, $width/2, 0, $width/2, $height, $grey); //Tell the browser what kind of file is come in header("Content-Type: image/jpeg"); //Output the newly created image in jpeg format ImageJpeg($image); //Free up resources ImageDestroy($image); } create_image(); ?> > From: karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:10:35 -0600 > To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Configuring PHP with GD and JPEG support > > > On Jan 10, 2011, at 9:35 AM, mike dorian wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > Questions with regards to compiling PHP to support GD with JPEG on > > 64-bit CentOS 5.5. > > > > 1) Specifying folder for jpeg library > > When I execute the following command, am I saying the full path to > > libdir is at /usr/source/lib64? > > ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-gd -- > > with-jpeg-dir=/usr/source --with-libdir=lib64 > > > > Should I have done the following instead? > > ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-gd -- > > with-jpeg-dir=/usr/source/lib64 > > > > > > 2) After copying the compiled JPEG libraries to the the lib64 > > directory, PHP is still unable to call the GD functions (ie > > ImageCreateFromJpeg) properly. > > Once I've done the following. > > ./configure --enable-shared > > make > > make install > > > > I have the following files installed.
