You can look at mine to compare if you wont.

hmm. Is there a way to change my version of GD then to add FreeType? Me website is hosted by a company called netfirms so do I need to get them to do it, or can I do it?

Thanks TrUz for the offer and for the help. I really appreciate it.

I'll fire an email off to netfirms tonight to see if they can add it. If not, I might take you up on the offer.
 
ok, i've had this reply from netfirms.

I'm revising for exams at the moment, so i'll leave this alone until my exams finish in a few weeks time, and i'll see if they;ve installed it then.

Thanks for the help mark and especially you TrUz
 
oh, just thought of something else. You can do CHMOD 777 through the windows explorer browser when you ftp into your site, so there is no need to use cute ftp.

You simply right click on the folder, and tick every single box (so everything has write access). That has the same effect as CHMOD.
 
I though I would give this php sig stuff ago so I copied the script and have attempted to make my own. I am using the free php hosting on lycos as suggested by Biffa and it appears to be working. here is my test file :-

Lycos test file

And this is is the script as I have changed it :-

Sig script

When I view the php file I have created it is a completley blank page with nothing on at all. I am not sure if I am using the correct path for the font and WUTotal.dat. Do I need to create a WUTotal.dat or will the script create it.
 
Looks to me as if Lycos are sticking their banner in the page as follows:

Code: 
</pre></xmp></noscript>
<script src="http://ads.tripod.lycos.co.uk/ad/test_frame_size.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
if (!AD_clientWindowSize()) {
        document.write('<NOSC'+'RIPT>');
	}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ads.tripod.lycos.co.uk/ad/ad.php?
cat=&mkw=&CC=uk&ord=1898087491&adpref="></script>

Possibly this is messing it up for you :confused:

GD and Freetype seems to be installed correctly.

I think that's just a default page due to the script not producing any headers/output seeing as the test page doesn't have the lycos stuff on it. As for why the script isn't producing anything then the best I can offer is that there is an error somewhere. I've noticed that since the plusnet php upgrade that I don't even get error codes for basic syntax errors anymore. I just get a blank page and have to use trial and error/intuition to find out what the problem is.
 
Assuming that you've only changed the setttings at the top of the script then there's not a lot that you could have got wrong. Only things I can think of are that you maybe haven't gone deep enough with your directory levels for the two paths or maybe you have the case wrong somewhere (if your cgi server is *nix based then the path will be case sensitive.)
