Title: how to allow gifs?
Post by: Gaia on March 13, 2005, 10:52:16 PM
hi,

I tried to upload .gif files but it says that it is not a valid GD extension or something like that.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks.

Please search the forums; this has been asked and answered many times.  It's also talked about in the documentation.  There's even a mod to allow GIF with GD, if you have a new version of GD.

Did you find that information yet?  Your post could mean you found it and you are thanking me, or you didn't and you are thanking me for replying to your post.

Ask them what version they have, or make a php file with this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Upload it to your website and run it.  It will tell you what version of GD you host is using.  There will be a section for GD in the output.  Make sure to give it a unique name, or delete it after you use it.

It often pays to follow a link that is labelled "FAQ": http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php#VersionGD
