Here's the starting situation:
I'm completely new to php
I want to create simple images from simple data
I'm going to use some free host on the net (besides my test enviroment on my computer)
I red some about GD and all the fancy functions, but i'm not sure it's the path i need/want to take: Different versions with different versions combined with free host sounds like a huge mess for beginner. Does free servers support GD, and what versions usually? How compatible different versions are with different php's and verying serversoftware's? GD's homepages was'nt really very couraging about this matter. Generally i don't like any addons or libraries or classes cos i dont understand them.
SO
The main question is that is it possible to create image file, say gif (or any other packed format), without any extensions to PHP, and is there any code for it anywhere? It dont have to have any fancy operations, i only need to be able to determine picture (x,y) size and set points(x,y,color) and perhaps text too.
I have one code for pascal, that i used many years ago, but i ant that skilfull that i could convert it.
Image creation guidance/alternatives?
