Just take a look here. It gives the link to the GDlib's, but also informs you that since PHP 4.3, it comes bundled.

As far as install, on linux, you just need to compile --with-gd
On windows, make sure you extension directory is set right, and uncomment the extension=php_gd2.dll line.

thank you but where can i uncomment this is it in php.ini or under httpd.conf?

LordShryku

php.ini

osusano

ok i already uncomment the extension=php_gd2.dll

and even modify extension_dir and assigned to where the file is located

and restart my apache but still gives me an error like this

This function does not exist: ImageCreateFromJpeg
You specified to use GD2, but not all GD2 functions are present. ImageCreateTruecolor()
You specified to use GD2, but not all GD2 functions are present. ImageCopyResampled()

what should i do?

Are freetype and jpeg installed? If so, try recompiling pointing the to directories...

--with-jpeg-dir=DIR
--with-ttf=DIR(freetype 1)
--with-freetype-dir=DIR(freetype 2)
