SUCCESS, SOMEWHAT...
When I installed Zend Debugger 5.5.1 about a year and a half ago, it
came with its own php.ini, and originally had a great deal of trouble
getting it running. It had been compiled in 32 bit mode as best I
understand it, so once I got everything working I posted a message on
4/29/2008 "Getting 32 bit ZendStudio Debugger to work with 64 bit
Apache2 - PHP using MacPorts on Leopard" that provided explicit
instructions on how to get it working.
The message I posted on 4/29/2008 "Getting 32 bit ZendStudio Debugger
to work with 64 bit Apache2 - PHP using MacPorts on Leopard" that
provided explicit instructions on how to get it working, is no longer
valid.
In the later versions of OS X ZEND DEBUGGER DOES NOT require that you
call :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
RESTART THE 64 bit APACHE2 using the 32 bit mode ( 'arch -i386' ) :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
shell> ~ $ sudo arch -i386 /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
shell> ~ $ ps aux | grep httpd
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
ZEND DEBUGGER works fine using 64 bit mode :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
shell> ~ $ sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
shell> ~ $ ps aux | grep httpd
As a carry over from an old version of Zend Debugger 4.x (about 3-4
years old) my php.ini contained :
; [Zend]
extension_dir=/Applications/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.1/bin/php5
extension=pgsql.so
$ which php
---> /opt/local/bin/php
$ php --version
---> PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/Applications/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.1/bin/php5/pgsql.so' - (null) in
Unknown on line 0
---> Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/Applications/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.1/bin/php5/pgsql.so' - (null) in

---> Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies
---> with Zend Debugger v5.2.12, Copyright (c) 1999-2007, by Zend
Technologies
Originally when I tried I got the errors again :
$ php inc_random_image_two.php > zippy.png
---> PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/Applications/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.1/bin/php5/pgsql.so' - (null) in
Unknown on line 0
---> Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/Applications/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.1/bin/php5/pgsql.so' - (null) in
Unknown on line 0
$ open zippy.png
But when I opened zippy.png above the image worked.
GOING BACK to the 'PHP Warning' :
Even with the two lines below the [Zend] Apache and PHP seemed to work
fine. I had seen the warnings several times in the logs but never
figured out what to do about it, it turned out it was really simple :
I have a php.ini that contains all my conf stuff, but ZEND DEBUGGER
has its own php.ini, where it also has additional stuff, which is
totally different than it used to be in the previous debugger version.
; [Zend]
; extension_dir=/Applications/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.1/bin/php5
; extension=pgsql.so
Commenting them out solved the problem, and miraculously
'inc_random_image_two'.php below worked correctly.
THIS time 'php --version' worked correctly also :
$ php --version
PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: Jul 7 2008 15:05:26)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies
with Zend Debugger v5.2.12, Copyright (c) 1999-2007, by Zend
Technologies
NOW I tried calling 'random_image_sample.php' in Safari, and the image
displayed correctly. The problem with 'imagettftext' dissapeared, or
so I thought. The image displayed correctly as long as I do not use
the ZEND DEBUGGER. If I use the debugger the line containing
'imagettftext' causes the debugger to exit without any warning, or
error message. Its bizarre, because I've never seen the debugger exit
this way.
CONCLUSION : There appears that there were at least two or three
issues causing this problem.
( 1 ) Bufoonery on my part for not resolving the 'PHP Warning' sooner.
( 2 ) The problem between 'imagettftext' and ZEND DEBUGGER.
( 3 ) 'imagettftext' did not work in 32 bit mode even without the ZEND
DEBUGGER.
I had also upgraded all the ports earlier today, but I don't believe
they had anything to do with the image display problem.
I put the code for the two sample pages on here again, in case they
are helpful to others.

Thanks to all those that helped me with this problem...
I posted this on the MacPorts forum also, and got some good insights
there...

We need a small script. It should only contains the image creation,
draw some text and save the image, without using any GET/POST/SESSION or
whatever else but the ttf file. Something like a 5 lines scripts.

This includes the three files (which I have renamed to make them
easier to distinguish), as well as the browser output source :
( 1 ) Main File : random_image_sample.php
( 2 ) Include File : inc_random_image_one.php
( a ) 'inc_random_image_one.php' requires "images/noise.jpg",
which can be downloaded from http://www.reconn.us/images/noise.png
( b ) 'inc_random_image_one.php' requires that you copy 10
different named fonts from /Library/Fonts/ to ./fonts/ and rename
them from "1.ttf" to "10.ttf"
( 3 ) Include File : inc_random_image_two.php
( a ) This is example ( 1 ) found on
http://us.php.net/imagettftext

Please provide a link to the font you use.
Also you may send the header right before the PNG generation:
header("Content-type:image/png");
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
You may look at the contents of the page (show source), If it is a
blank page, it may contain error messages not displayed because of the
Content-Type.

Description:
------------
Same exact problem as Bug #44524, which has been written off as bogus.
IT IS NOT BOGUS...
Problem:
------------
Calls to imagettftext always fail with no error on Leopard 10.5.3
when run under MacPorts Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.5 and the GD library.
Originally I tried the "PHP Form image verification" example at :
http://www.reconn.us/content/view/28/49/
I then tried example ( 1 ) found on http://us.php.net/imagettftext
Both examples failed to display the results and provided not visible
error, so I fired up the ZEND DEBUGGER and that is when I found the
culprit, I then checked the Apache error log and found...
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// This is example ( 1 ) found on http://us.php.net/imagettftext
//Set the content-type
header("Content-type:image/png");
//Create the image
$image=imagecreatetruecolor(400,30);
//Create some colors
$white=imagecolorallocate($image,255,255,255);
$grey=imagecolorallocate($image,128,128,128);
$black=imagecolorallocate($image,0,0,0);
imagefilledrectangle($image,0,0,399,29,$white);
//The text to draw
$text='Testing...';
//Replace path by your own font path
// $font='fonts/10.ttf';
$font='/[path to font]/Arial.ttf';
//Add some shadow to the text
imagettftext($image,20,0,11,21,$grey,$font,$text);
//Addthetext
imagettftext($image,20,0,10,20,$black,$font,$text);
//Using imagepng()results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Small image containing "Testing..."
Actual result:
--------------
Checking the Apache error log shows many instances of :
Break on
__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTION
ALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__() to debug.
[Sun Jul 06 00:45:18 2008] [notice] child pid 2990 exit signal
Trace/BPT
trap (5)
When I trace Using ZEND DEBUGGER the call to imagettftext shows where
the break in execution occurs.
