The gif file saved to the directory is 0 size.
I checked error logs and found:
PHP Warning: base64_decode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [path to geeklog]/system/lib-custom.php on line 71
I'm running php version 4.3.10

I checked the troubleshooting stuff referenced at:
http://www.portalparts.com/forum/print.php?id=4340
I have connectivity - I can ping the url: 64 bytes from www.esynaps.com (64.85.13.125): icmp_seq=0 ttl=114 time=62.0 ms
When I tried replacing the offending line of code to:
$image = base64_decode($newimage[DailyDilbertImageResult])
The error message no longer appears in my logfile - but the cretaed gif is still 0 sized.

What time is it set to do the pull?
Change that to now and then wait and see??

Well - it pulls automatically if there is not a 'today' file in the directory - so when I make a change and want to see if it works - I delete the 0 length file and reload the page.
I suspect it may be related to my php block rss feed issues.

While troubleshooting I modified the file so I can try to see whats happening:
So I've now got:
/* Setup the Web Service Client */
include ($_CONF['path_system'] .'nusoap.php');
$wsdl = "http://www.esynaps.com/WebServices/DailyDilbert.asmx?WSDL";
$client = new soapclient( $wsdl,"true");
echo $client;
echo $client->call('DailyDilbertImage', '');
/* Call the Web Service and decode the base64 contents back to a GIF file */
$image = base64_decode($client->call('DailyDilbertImage', ''));
and my output is:
Object
Array
And my logs show the same error message.....
wtf????

Hi,
I'm having the same problem too... my gif file is 0 sized. It's been creating 0 byte files for 2 days already. When I copied the current cartoon from Blaine's site, it displays but as soon as the next day rolls around, it goes back to a blank block again.
Please help!
