[PHP] Dumb newbie graphics question

2001-03-01 Thread darthzeth

howdy,
im new at this, so sorry if this is a dumb question... 
I want to make some dynamically generated buttons, but even when i copy the most basic 
of graphics scripts i can find out there, they dont seem to be working. Does this mean 
my ISP is not configured for displaying PHP generated graphics?

thanks for your help

That's possible.

You might like to try manually downloading the file using a 
utility like wget or curl. This will show you if PHP is 
outputting any errors (which would thus result in a broken
image).

Create a new file called test.php and in it put:

?php
phpinfo();
?

FTP it to your web server and then look at it in your browser. It should
tell you a whole lot of stuff about how PHP has been configured on your
server.

create a file called phpinfo.php and add to that file ? php_info(); ?
then load up that page in your browser.  In regards to FAQ's visit
www.php.net
should also look at phpbuilder.com and there are many more. On php.net in
the
links section they have even more links to FAQ's
