Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ....

[refresh]

I get the following errors when trying to upload an image for the first time (brand new set up)

I go to the Post a New Image page and I get this error where the browse for image option should be:

Image: "localized string not found"

Then at the bottom of the box I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: utf8_decode() in /htdocs/www/includes/functions.php on line 115

Basically I cant upload any files.

Ideas? recommendations?

I'm using pixelpost version 1.4.2

I've loaded a couple screenshots of the "new image" page and "general info" page.

unfortunately TIFF is not a supported graphic format which a browser can read :cry:

just go to your admin panel, log in, go to "GENERAL iNFORMATION", mark the text, right click, copy and paste it here

so we can read real letters :wink:

sorry about that. My browser reads tiff just fine. Regardless, here is the copied info from the "GENERAL INFO" section of my admin.

your GD-LIB is installed without any JPG-support at all, so no wonder that no images possible :?

ask your hoster to install GD-LIB completely with JPG-support

I went to my php.ini file and un-commented the line: extension = gd.so
as directed by my ISP.

However I still get the same error on the bottom of the page where the upload image button should be:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: utf8_decode() in /htdocs/www/includes/functions.php on line 115

I went to functions.php and line 115 is:
$str = UTF8_decode($str);

what else can I do?

[Connie]

I think the reason is because PHP is installed as CGI at your server

your phpinfo says:
Server API CGI

mine says:
Server API Apache

could you ask your hoster to offer PHP not as CGI-module?

I read a lot that that is the reason for many problems
