Re: Error log clarification needed...

newFromJpegData expects a JPEG to be in the variable passed as argument, not a URI.

newFromJpeg won't work either, since that expects a file name to passed as argument, not a URI.

You probably want something like

my $image = GD::Image->newFromJpegData("/web/www.funnyandjokes.com/pic
+tures/images/bush_lord-of-the-rings.jpg");
[download]

If the image is remote, download it using LWP first.

Thank you for your swift response. Do you mean using LWP's get method like this? `use strict; use GD; use CGI; use LWP::Simple qw(get); my $image_web = get('http://www.funnyandjokes.com/pictures/images/bush +_lord-of-the-rings.jpg'); $image = GD::Image->newFromJpegData($image_web); my $black = $image->colorResolve(0,0,0); $image->string(gdGiantFont,2,10,"Eat More Hobbits!",$black); open(FILE, ">text1.jpg") \|\| die "Cannot open text1.jpg: $!\n"; print FILE $image->jpeg;` [download] If this code is correct, then I should be able to use the resulting image in the cgi generated html by simply using this tag: `<img src="text1.jpg">` [download] Is this correct? Thank you again! -mox UPDATE: Thank you all, I just managed to fix it! Thank you very much for pointing me towards LWP!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you for your swift response. Do you mean using LWP's get method like this?

use strict;
use GD;
use CGI;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);

my $image_web = get('http://www.funnyandjokes.com/pictures/images/bush
+_lord-of-the-rings.jpg');
$image = GD::Image->newFromJpegData($image_web);
my $black = $image->colorResolve(0,0,0);
$image->string(gdGiantFont,2,10,"Eat More Hobbits!",$black);
open(FILE, ">text1.jpg") || die "Cannot open text1.jpg: $!\n";
print FILE $image->jpeg;
[download]

If this code is correct, then I should be able to use the resulting image in the cgi generated html by simply using this tag:

 <img src="text1.jpg">
[download]

Is this correct?

Thank you again!
