    I've been trying to set up Phpix 1.0.2 on my site hosted by nomonthlyfees.com. They don't support IM but GD is there however I don't see where to set the path to convert or whether this is neccesary with GD.

    In any cases with all my fiddling it still won't create thumbnails. What worries me is the error it comes up with - <b>Warning: ImageCreateFromJpeg: No JPEG support in this PHP build in /home/my_sites_path/test/functions.inc on line 22</b>. I keep on at my host's support people to see if it's actually the case that they don't have a library for Jpeg but I thought this was the point of GD anyway. They don't seem able to answer me or don't understand me. Any ideas?

    I've got PHP4.0.3pl1 with GD1.6.2 on a Red Hat Linux (UNIX) server running Apache 1.3.4 .

    Thanks, love your script definitely the best one going around. :)

      It looks like your ISP didn't include jpeg support in their build of PHP.  GD is actually something that gets plugged in to PHP, and built at the same time (or perhaps built in to the PHP binary).

      The message you're seeing means that you need to use a copy of PHP that has GD support.  I'd advise using the im method of generating thumbnails; it does a better job scaling anyhow and isn't that much slower.

      Thanks for your help I'll keep on at my host and see if they'll let me install IM.
