[etc-users] Blank screen errors?

[Mark F. <mf...@mi...>]

Well.. I figured out why ETC was fetching from the webserver but never
displaying the image.  On my machine I had PHP setup without the gd
extensions, so going to the demo.php page was not returning a PNG (Instead
it returns an HTML file with an error message about imagecreate not being
defined)

If the file ETC receives from the webserver is not a valid PNG etc ignores
the file and leaves the last image up on the screen...even if that image
is a blank screen.

So.. if anyone was having problems with ETC always displaying a blank
screen.. try using your PC web browser to go to the script page and see if
you get back a PNG image.  Let us know what the results of that are or if
you do get back a PNG email it to me.

Meanwhile, I'm adding some better error handling code to ETC and I'll
release 0.1.4 as soon as that is in.

Thanks

Mark
