That's not an install problem, it's a general PHP question, so for
the archives, it's being copied over to there as well. If you haven't
yet, please consider joining PHP-General
(http://php.net/mailinglists).

You're calling the imagecreate() function as a $variable. Simple
enough to fix:

<?php
$image = imagecreate(100,100);
?>
