Thumbnail - help i guess

[Caelestis]

Ok i've e-mail my host company a few times and they keep telling me that GD is installed, but i get
GD library error.
Check module settings.

what i'm asking is if anyone know a quick or easy way to use the imagecopyresized or imagecopyresampled php functions to do it?...

Please help and TIA...

GD may be installed but was php built with it?

Create a new file called phpinfo.php and place this inside:

Code: [Select]

<?php
phpinfo&#40;&#41;;
?>Upload it to your sever and call it up in a web browser.

Look for "Configure Command" and be sure you see a line that reads:

Code: [Select]

'--with-gd'

nop it doesn't have that...(at least i'm pretty sure...)
here is the link to it-

I found out where GD and ImageMagick are installed but i get module errors everytime i try it...

Well unfortunately we can't tell much about how php was built on your machine.

Code: [Select]

'./configure'Simply indicates the automatic configuration script was used which doesn't let us see each option used to build php.  Your next step should be to ask your host "Was php built with GD?"  In other words, find out in that '--with-gd' option was used.

It very well could be that gd is installed but php was never built to recognize or use it.  I had that very problem at one time.

hum... is there an easy way i could fix it?

If php wasn't built with GD, only your hosting provider can fix it.  This will mean they have to rebuild and reinstall php.  You should ask them about it.  My host took care of rebuilding php at my request.
