Further to my answer, I did a few tests, without the php_gd.dll module, I got: "call to undefined function" with the php_gd.dll included, I got: "No GIF support in this PHP build" Don't know where you'd get an older version of php_gd.dll, maybe an older version of PHP would have it? Either that

RTM, according to the manual, you need the GD extention installed to create and write to gif's, but you can get info for images without the extention. also, it says that the gd extention needs to be v1.6 or below to support the gif functions. Ross -Original Message- From: bene [mailto:[E

So far as I'm aware, you're correct, secure IIS and php is secure as well. I once saw a report in a security website or magazine (i think the latter) complaining that PHP was insecure in so much that variables were posted with the header details and could therefore be intercepted. This in itself

No probs. explode is a way of splitting up a string using any character you want as the divider. For example... Say you wanted to split a string into individual words. $string_var = "The cat sat on the mat"; $words_var = explode(" ", $string_var); Explode splits $string_var by the space chara
