Nextgen can’t find GD

That bit of code happens with this:
if(!function_exists("gd_info")) {

So, apparently, something is wrong with the installation since PHP is reporting that the gd_info function does not exist.

Hmmm… Thanks for that.

Running this script:

<?php
var_dump(gd_info());
?>

<p>check if function exists</p>

<?php
if(function_exists("gd_info")) {
        echo "function exists";
}

gives this output:

array(12) { [“GD Version”]=> string(13) “2.0 or higher” [“FreeType Support”]=> bool(true) [“FreeType Linkage”]=> string(16) “with TTF library” [“T1Lib Support”]=> bool(false) [“GIF Read Support”]=> bool(true) [“GIF Create Support”]=> bool(true) [“JPG Support”]=> bool(true) [“PNG Support”]=> bool(true) [“WBMP Support”]=> bool(true) [“XPM Support”]=> bool(false) [“XBM Support”]=> bool(false) [“JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support”]=> bool(false) }

check if function exists
function exists

That suggested to me that the gd_info function does exist and that running it gives some output.

So… I commented out that test in thumbnail.inc.php – and it works.

I’m only just starting to learn about php, so i’m a bit confused. Any idea what’s going on here?

Same problem here. GD and curl are installed and showing up in phpinfo queries, however nextgen and slickr cant see them. I’ve repeatedly tried deactivating and activating the plugins, even deleted and re-FTP’d.

I ran into a post saying that adding extension=php_curl.dll
to the php.ini worked, but it did nothing for me.

Any ideas how to slap the GD query into behaving sensibly?
