you are getting this error because you have allready outputed data (in your case some html code) to the browser. to get your script to work, change it to:

Changed the code as you mentioned above but now I am getting new error which I have mentioned below.
Error Message: The image [localhost] cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
test.php is my filename.
I am not able to figure out as to why am I getting this error now. I am using Firefox and I reckon this is msg from the browser. Tried in Internet Explorer but getting a blank page.

to see what errors you are getting change
$im = @ImageCreate ( 50, 100)
to
$im = ImageCreate ( 50, 100)
$im = @ImageCreate ( 50, 100)
to
$im = ImageCreate ( 50, 100)

double check and make sure you have correctly enabled the gd2 extension, make a new php file with the following code and run it in your browser
<?php
var_dump(gd_info());
?>
if you get an error saying undefinded function, then you have not enabled gd2. enable it and everything should work.

yeah i have run the code given by you and i am getting the error undefined function..i think my gd2 is not correctly configured....i will explain what i have done to enable gd2 and what i know...
First of all I have 2 php.ini files in my system one in c:\Windows directory and other in c:\wamp\Apache2\bin. is it correct to have 2 files or do I have to remove one.if so which one do i have to delete???Now this is what I have done...
1. I have uncommented "extension=php_gd2.dll" from php.ini files present in c:\wamp\Apache2\bin and c:\windows by removing the semi-colon from the beginning of the line.
2. I have also modified the directive "extension_dir" in php.ini file. I have kept the directive as
extension_dir = "./ " for php.ini in c:\Windows directory and
extension_dir = " c:/wamp/php/ext/ " for php.ini in c:\wamp\Apache2\bin directory.
Finally how do i know from the phpinfo() that gd2 is enabled???
Finally Thanx a ton for patiently guiding and helping me in all this time..I will be really grateful to you once my gd2 is up and running...I have been trying to do this since long...

I have now enabled gd2 as u said..and i am also able to see gd2 enabled instruction if i am using phpinfo() function..
also when i used
var_dump(gd_info());
the above function i am getting the result mentioned below on the browser
array(12) { ["GD Version"]=> string(27) "bundled (2.0.28 compatible)" ["FreeType Support"]=> bool(true) ["FreeType Linkage"]=> string(13) "with freetype" ["T1Lib Support"]=> bool(true) ["GIF Read Support"]=> bool(true) ["GIF Create Support"]=> bool(true) ["JPG Support"]=> bool(true) ["PNG Support"]=> bool(true) ["WBMP Support"]=> bool(true) ["XPM Support"]=> bool(false) ["XBM Support"]=> bool(true) ["JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support"]=> bool(false) }
which i reckon means that gd2 is now enabled perfectly...
but when I am trying to execute my code i am still getting the same error msg. I have pasted my code and also the error msg below:
Code:
<?php
header ("Content-type: image/png";
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[www.w3.org];
<html xmlns="[www.w3.org];

ImageString ($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color );
ImagePng ($im);
?>
</body>
</html>
Error Msg:
The image [localhost] cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
I reckon we are getting this msg because of the headerheader ("Content-type: image/png"; that we have written in the beginning of the file. Tried placing the header statement at different places but still getting the same error.
Can you pls find a solution for this error now.
also when i used
var_dump(gd_info());

On my own experience, this wamp never has php.ini in windows folder, so you guys might already has php installed before, and by default php will look for ini in windows which results it never reach the ini file that comes w/ this wamp package; so make sure to search and delete all related files in windows and registry if ever had apache, mysql and php installed before.Quote
First of all I have 2 php.ini files in my system one in c:\Windows directory and other in c:\wamp\Apache2\bin. is it correct to have 2 files or do I have to remove one.if so which one do i have to delete???Now this is what I have done...

Thanks for quick answer.
But unfortunately it doesnt help.
I search all (one) php.ini in windows and delete it. Besides i tried to download new wamp server and it looked for php.ini in windows and reneme that to "old_php.ini" anyway (i delete this file too, just to be sure).
