Images - GD Library, Sessions

[halex]

Hello!

I have downloaded Boutell GD library (www.boutell.com/gd/) and I have a question is it possible to use it if my PHP host provider doesn't support it?
I can include these functionalities localy by uncommenting PHP extension php_gd2.dll in php.ini file, but is it possible to upload this extension to my website and to tell PHP on host server to include this extension so I can make thumbnails from uploaded image?
Is it another way to scale image (that user is uploading) to wished size and to make its thumbnail?

About sessions...
Is it better to save session data in files or database?
When I save into files I just said session_start(); and than session_register... And when I put in database I must make SQL table and session database handlers...

Best regards
Alex

If you use the ini_set("extension_dir","your/dir"); It might be possible... not tried it - but the extension dir can be set at runtime with ini_set....

Run with it and see what you get....
