GD installed?

[Kames]

Hi,

Just a quick question. Do you have GD library installed on your servers? (AdEnhanced)

I ask this because my forum software is telling me you don't and I thought this is strange for a server to be with GD.

In case you want to see for yourself look here, on my registration page.

Gd is installed, at least it is on the Paid server.

By the way, your site times out when I try to view it.

It not the site its the host

GD on free servers?

Yes, it is. Your problem isn't with GD, it is the fact that phpinfo() is disabled. Your captcha script is trying to use it, so it is throwing an error causing the image to break

[Kames]

Can you enable php_info() then? It's a pretty basic requirement really.

We have it disabled because it can be used to get a lot of information about the server which makes it easier for people to abuse the service. It's a lot harder for someone to try functions and figure out where things are located than if we tell them.

I would suggest commenting on the line it is trying to do that in or set it to true even though it returns false.

Can you not enable php_info() for single accounts?

I'm afraid I cannot edit the code it's a 3rd party script and I have no knowledge of it.

It's ironic really to think about it because the image verification that requires the php_info() is in place to stop automated sign ups and spamming on the site/your server. :|

Post the script here, maybe someone can edit it for you and remove the usage of phpinfo(). Also, I have found scripts before that don't need phpinfo(), like the one that I created for my site ;)

[Brandon]

No script should need phpinfo, there are ways to get the information other than phpinfo(), post it here or give us the link the site that made the script, someone will take a look.

Ok, I managed to narrow it down to this bit of code I think.

if($mybb->settings['captchaimage'] == "on" && function_exists("imagecreatefrompng"))
    {
        $imagehash = $db->escape_string($mybb->input['imagehash']);
        $imagestring = $db->escape_string($mybb->input['imagestring']);
        $query = $db->simple_select(TABLE_PREFIX."captcha", "*", "imagehash='$imagehash' AND imagestring='$imagestring'");
        $imgcheck = $db->fetch_array($query);
        if(!$imgcheck['dateline'])
        {
            $errors[]  = $lang->error_regimageinvalid;
        }
        $db->delete_query(TABLE_PREFIX."captcha", "imagehash='$imagehash'");
    } 

Thanks.
