Question

On my local host this code works well:

$im = imagecreatefrompng('BBcode.png');

But when I use the same code in the server

$im = imagecreatefrompng('http://lazertag.elitno.net/drupal/BBcode.png');

I got the folloowing error:

Warning:
imagecreatefrompng(http://lazertag.elitno.net/drupal/BBcode.png)
[function.imagecreatefrompng]: failed to open stream: HTTP request
failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in
/www/elitno.net/l/a/lazertag/home/site/drupal/renderImage.php on line
46

How do I solve this?

Answer 1

If the file is on your server, use a (relative) system path, not an url:
E.g.:

$im = imagecreatefrompng('drupal/BBcode.png');
