ive tried to install gd following this suggestion

C:\WINDOWS\php.ini

code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "C:\PATH\TO\INSTALL\DIR\OF\php\extensions"

....
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
;Windows Extensions
;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for it.
;
...
extension=php_gd2.dll
...

php_gd2.dll must be physically stored in "C:\PATH\TO\INSTALL\DIR\OF\php\extensions"

however i get this error in a popup box

warning:

gd: unable to initialize module. module compiled with module
api=20020429, debug=0, thread safty=1
php compiled with;
module api= 20010901, debug=0, thread safty =1
options need to match

PLease help

Hi,

The API version of your PHP build doesn't fit with the API of your gd extension. Install the newest PHP version and use the gd library which comes with it.

Did you use the gd libraries which came bundled with your PHP build or did you install them separatly?

destop

yes i used the ones that came bundled

im busy downloading again though, maybe it didn't overwrite the last ones ??? don't know anyway worth a try

thanks for your help

Hi,

I don't know what's going on there, but normally the library bundled with PHP should work...
It may help if you reinstall PHP with deleting all files in PHP directory before.
