GD thinks it's installed, but won't work

[Bob Baddeley]

I'm running PHP5 on a WinXP box using Apache2. I am having an unusual
problem and can't find a solution online at all.

I believe I have enabled the GD module properly. I modified the php.ini
and restarted apache (and later restarted my computer) to enable the
php_gd2.dll. When I run phpinfo() and gd_info() I get valid output:

Array
(
[GD Version] =bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
[FreeType Support] =1
[FreeType Linkage] =with freetype
[T1Lib Support] =1
[GIF Read Support] =1
[GIF Create Support] =1
[JPG Support] =1
[PNG Support] =1
[WBMP Support] =1
[XPM Support] =>
[XBM Support] =1
[JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support] =>
)

The problem, though, is that no gd functions work. I keep getting
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreate()" or any other
image___() functions. I've tried reinstalling php, restarting the
computer and apache, disabling and reenabling the dll, all with no
success. Does anyone have any idea why this GD installation is partial
and how I can get around it?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

Weird indeed... Just to discard Apache, do you have the same problem when
running the script from command line?

Good thought. I just tried it, and got the same result. Call to
undefined function imagecreate.

I have functional code now. I'm not sure what the problem was exactly.
I tried replacing the sample code I had found with slightly different
sample code, and it worked. I pored over the original code many many
times and never saw any mistakes with the imagecreate function, so I
don't know what the deal is. But it works now.
