PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefrompng()

Question

That is the error message that I get on my php error log.

So far, I know that the GD library is the problem, it's not installed ( I think is not installed but it was working before in my server and now is not so I don't know what happened but I want to assume that is not installed).

I checked if the module was installed by running php -m and gd doesn't show up, also phpinfo() doesn't show anything related to gd. I installed php on a CentOS server 5.9 with remi repo. Now, the problem is that I can't just run yum install php-gd because it won't have any effect since it was installed manually. Any ideas on how can I install just that module to my php installation?

The doco says GD is bundled with PHP since 4.3.6. Sounds like you'd have to go out of your way to not install it. Is there a gd.so file in your PHP extensions dir? Maybe you just need extension=gd.so in your php.ini file — Phil

I just had to install the php-gd library with the remi repo enabled So if anybody has the same problem here it is: yum install php-gd --enablerepo=remi,remi-php55
