okay .. listen .. if you are getting fatal errors attempting to use
ImageCreate() then you most probably do not have GD installed .. Likewise,
if you are getting fatal errors attempting to use ImageGIF() then you are
most probably using a version of GD which does not support the GIF format.
Notice that in both of these examples that the problem has nothing to do
with PHP or whether or not PHP "supports" any particular
function. You must have the GD image library installed to make images
work. It is as simple as that. Furthermore, although current versions of
GD do NOT support the GIF format, I know that old versions of GD (ie.
version 1.3) do support the GIF format but they are probably illegal to use
now because of the fuss that unisys has been making about it.
