imagecreate() & "GD"

[mattskelton]

Hi,
I am trying to put an analog clock on my site. I used a script that many people said was excellent so I dont think that there is a problem with the script. I did some research and found out that I need "GD" to in order to run the function "imagecreate()". I cant't seem to find out what GD is or where to install/enable it. I am running apache 2.0 & PHP 5 on a Windows machine. So my question is what is GD and where can I get it?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

there are two PHP packages available. The installer version and the zipped version. The zipped version comes with everything you need.

In php.ini set extension_dir to the directory where all the php_???.dll files are (e.g. c:\php5\ext). Then enable the extension by changing the php.ini line

;extension=php_gd2.dll
to
extension=php_gd2.dll

Then restart apache.

EDIT: Make sure that you have a valid php.ini in the windows directory.
