i can't get pixelpost to post any images. the size is right i think but i get this error:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/pixel/includes/functions.php on line 54

here is my general info:

PHP-version 5.1.0b2 (Pixelpost's min requirement: PHP version 4.3.0)
MySQL version 5.0.7-beta-standard (Pixelpost's min requirement: MySQL 3.23.58)

GD-lib 2.0 or higher with JPEG support

Server software Apache/2.1.6 (Unix) PHP/5.1.0b2

EXIF Pixelpost is using exifer v1.5 for EXIF information.

Guessed imagepath: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/pixel/images/
Configured Imagepath /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/pixel/images/

well i installed pixelpost 1.5 and things are peachy except that the images dont completely upload. the thumbnails work fine but the images only halfway load.

I'm still using 1.4.3 and found that if the original image file had apostrophes or spaces it wouldn't upload correctly. If you have problems in 1.5, let me know if shorter or simpler file names help.

that doesn't sound right. pixelpost doesn't actually put a timeout on image uploads as far as i know so perhaps your server does - but if it does i can only assume you have very large images.. what is the average overall size (in kb) of your files?

it is always a safe way not to use filenames with spaces... this is windows-like but could be very dangerous

a file-name has to consist of characters, separator, file-extension.

The characters should be plain characters, avoid special characters like umlauts, don't use apostrophes in filenames
The separator is a point.
The extension is 'jpg' for example

these 3 rules may sound very "old-schoolish" but if you follow them you will walk on the safe side..

i tried all of your suggestions but nothing works. the images look upload fine as far as i can tell but they only show half of the image and then gray for the rest. i have tried making the images very small but to no avail. i uploaded successfully a buddy of mine's image. maybe i need to use a different compression program. i am using iView MediaPro.

that#s probably your answer in that case.

did you clear the cache of the browser? If a picture is presented only half, very often it is a cache problem...
