Hi Jerry. Thanks for responding. I did not install any libraries. Maybe I was misled my this statement in the doc ... "Since PHP 4.3 there is a bundled version of the GD lib. This bundled version has some additional features ..., and should be used in preference to the external library ..." I thought this meant that the GD lib was bundled with PHP.

You asked if I had installed the required libS. Did you mean what's available at http://www.libgd.org/ (not available at the moment) and plus whatever other libs I need for specific image formats and fonts?

Thanks again, Bob
