Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreate()

I'm trying to put some graphics on a web page and at my prototype at the computer it's all working fine at the localhost. But now I uploaded the files to a server and I'm having a problem to plot some graphics. In my computer they are plotted, but on the server they are not.

I'm getting this error Fatal error: Call to undefined function ImageCreate() in /home/t1g01/phplot.php on line 248

Line 248

$this->img = ImageCreate($this->image_width, $this->image_height);

I'm using phplot, and I uploaded the files form phplot too. Can anyone help me ?

Sorry for any mistake in English and thank you in advanc开发者_JAVA百科e.

This means your installation of php doesn't have the gd library installed/enabled.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/image.installation.php

If you are using a Linux machine then execute this command from console:

sudo apt-get install php5-gd

to install the php_gd2.dll extension. It will then work after an Apache restart.

PS: should first check your current php version

php -v

In My Case:

PHP 7.3.5-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: May 3 2019 10:00:24) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.3.5, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.3.5-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

So, my PHP version is 7.3, so, the command for my version is :

sudo apt-get install php7.3-gd

Your server most like does not have GD (the built in PHP image processing library) enabled. You can check this by looking for "GD" in the output of :

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

If not, check the PHP docs on how to enable it: http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php

For Fedora, CentOS

dnf install php-gd
systemctl restart httpd.service

On Ubuntu

apt-cache search php*-gd
apt-get install php<version>-gd
systemctl restart apache2.service

Windows users see: http://php.net/manual/en/image.installation.php

1. Copy the file php_gd2.dll from your PHP's ext/ directory to where you have your php extensions. (No need to copy if php_gd2.dll is in the extension dir already. Look in php.ini for 'extension_dir' directive to find what is your current extension directory)

2. Modify your php.ini and change the following line:

;extension=php_gd2.dll

to:

extension=php_gd2.dll

It seems that your GD library is not being used. Double check your php.ini file.

for any php version the command for ubuntu installation is

apt-get install php-gd

it will install the version that matches your php version, and it will be later updated with you php version.

I know this is an old thread but I've just recently came across this same Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreate() issue while doing some QR coding using a fresh Xampp install on Windows.

I resolved the issue by first looking in the php.ini file for the GD extension and fixed the issue by uncommenting ;extension=gd

Afterwards QR code was generated to the browser as expected.

NOTE: Don't forget to restart Apache to make the change stick.

For Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd

Stop and then restart Apache Server.

PS: should first check your current php version

php -v

In My Case:

So, my PHP version is 7.3, so, the command for my version is :

sudo apt-get install php7.3-gd

Dont forget restart apache or php-fpm if not running after installation
