Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg()

Just starting a new thread on this as I was more than beginning to hijack the other thread!

I'm getting this error when I attempt to upload an image via MySQLi Insert Record and File Manipulation Upload Wizard:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\tammyssweetstems\webassist\file_manipulation\helperphp.php:962 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\tammyssweetstems\webassist\file_manipulation\helperphp.php(174): WA_DFP_ResizeImage() #1 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\tammyssweetstems\njadmin\add_banner.php(78): WA_DFP_UploadFiles() #2 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\tammyssweetstems\webassist\file_manipulation\helperphp.php on line 962

Is this definitely related to not having GD installed in PHP?

I have checked some support sites and I don't have php_gd2.dll installed in the ext directory of my PHP install directory, nor is php_gd2.dll referenced in my php.ini file. It simply references php_gd.dll (which may well be a change of refernce in PHP8, I don't know)?

I just wanted to double check that it's not related to the helperphp.php file, which is referenced in the error that's displayed.

Line 962 helperphp.php is:
$src = imagecreatefromjpeg($imageFilePath);

Line 174 helperphp.php is:
$resizeResult = WA_DFP_ResizeImage($tmpFileNamePath, $val);

and Line 78 add_banner.php is:
WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "NJbannerIMG", "2", "[NewFileName]_[Increment]", "true", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);

The issue is that GD library is not installed on your php server. It doesn't appear to be an issue with the php code itself, this is a server configuration issue.

I followed the instructions detailed here:
http://www.webassist.com/community/tutorials/view_tutorial.php?tutorial=Enabling-the-GD-library-setting

...it did not resolve the issue.

I have PHP8 installed on Windows 10 and there is no php_gd2.dll in the ext folder, yet it is referenced in the php.ini.
So, I copied php_gd2.dll from an earlier version of PHP and dropped it into to the PHP ext directory.

I stopped and restarted IIS, to no avail, and when I check http://localhost/phpinfo.php, it does not show any settings for GD, suggesting that it is not installed.

So, considering that the php.ini file references php_gd2.dll yet in the ext directory of the PHP folder it only has php_gd.dll, I edited the php.ini file to reference, instead, php_gd.dll and when I run http://localhost/phpinfo.php it now shows GD info and the WebAssist extension is back working again!

I can only assume that this is an error with installation of PHP8. It's referencing php_gd2.dll when in actual fact the file, in PHP8, is php_gd.dll.

However, I fear my troubles are not over yet as I'm now getting this...

C:\>php -v
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_xmlrpc.dll' (tried: C:\Program Files\PHP\v8.0\ext\php_xmlrpc.dll (The specified module could not be found), C:\Program Files\PHP\v8.0\ext\php_php_xmlrpc.dll.dll (The specified module could not be found)) in Unknown on line 0
PHP 8.0.0 (cli) (built: Nov 24 2020 22:02:58) ( NTS Visual C++ 2019 x64 )

THere is no php_xmlrpc.dll in the ext directory of the PHP8 install.

Teething problems with PHP8? Should I be reporting this kind of thing?

Thank you.
