[RESOLVED] can't get extension to work

maxelcat

I am getting this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg()

I have found out that this is a function that exists in the file php_gd2.dll (I think!) and that I need to set php.ini to load this file.

Php is sitting C:\php and inside is php.ini-recomnmended and php.ini-dist

I am running apache on my pc which is sitting in c:\program files\

and this is a folder in C:\program files\php which has one file php.ini -this is the file that I have been editing.

I have take the ";" out of

extension=php_gd2.dll

and have this

extension_dir="C:\php\ext"

I made the changes and then saved and restarted the server, but I still keep getting the fatal error.

Can anyone please shed any light on what I need to do

thanks

php.ini should be in the same folder as PHP itself; i.e., c:\php

(One of the lines in the first section of data returned by phpinfo() is "Loaded Configuration File" - that will tell you where it will (try to) find php.ini).

Moved to Install forum; feel free to take a look (or search) in this forum for similar issues; it always comes down to a limited number of problems, e.g. php.ini isn't being parsed or PHP's main directory (e.g. c:\php) wasn't added to the PATH environment variable.

Thanks very much - the php.ini file turned out to be in a different location - phpinfo() told me this.

Once I worked that out it worked!

Thanks again
