Dropshadows tutorial

I am trying to use the drop shadows tutorial to create a shadow underneath my images but i can't get it to work.

I copied the source code so I wouldn't get anything wrong but the image will not display.

I have used

<img src="dropshadow.php?src=picture.jpg" alt="picture" />

but all i'm getting is a red cross as usual when no image is displayed.

Any ideas why this isn't working?

comment out the header line:

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

then call the script directly and see if you get any error messages:

http://www.yourhost.com/dropshadow.php?src=picture.jpg

I tried that and i just get a blank page (putting it in the address bar). I took out header and saved it and tried using the image src but there's no change.

Has anyone got some working code that they can email me?

If you take out the header and get a blank page, then it is erroring out somewhere. You should get a screen full of "garbage".

Check your error reporting settings. It sounds like errors are not being shown on screen.

All i get is a blank page like you said

Sounds like PHP is not showing errors to the web page.....

AdRock, any "working code" I have and would be able to email you is that which already appears in the tutorial. Make sure you have the GD extension installed and error reporting turned on to the max.
