gd support

Is there a reason php4 has gd2 support and php5 doesnt?

I't stopped me from doing a complete upgrade as I use image manipulation classes that require gd2

Any resource or info on this would be much appreciated!

Last time I looked, PHP5 does support GD2.

your right if I remember correctly however you need a updated version of GD2 unless you use the built in version

as in the php module
or
the actual library

I use Debian, is this as simple as finding the latest gd2 module and installing it?

PS
Though php5 sates gd support does this actually mean gd2?

try to take a look at your php.ini and make sure that
extension=php_gd2.dll
is uncommented.

That only applies to windows installs. If you read the last post by checksum, he clearly states he runs linux.

In a *nix environment, make sure it's:
extension=php_gd2.so

However, if you compile you own PHP, there's no need to bother with any of that php.ini crap.

My original post was a little uneducated me thinks.

Im using gd2 just fine under php 5.03 fine in both win32 and nix environments.

is a fantastic resource for upto date php debian packages
