Hi. After much reading, I'm still unable to get php_gd.dll working under Windows NT4, SP6a.

I get the following message:

PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/ext/php_gd.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

The dll is in that directory, but I didn't do an "easy install" of it. It was downloaded after the basic installation.

Do I need to make a manual registry entry? If so, where can I find the syntax. The last thing I need today is a hosed registry. I tried registering it using regsvr32, but attempt failed.

Anyway, TIA for any info.

    This is going to be a fun one for you.

    First off I would make sure that the version of PHP you are using is compatible with the build of GD you are using.

    Make sure that under Dynamic Extensions you have deleted the ";" in front of extension=php_gd.dll.

    If this doesnt solve your problem then, you need to find the correct version of GD.

    Cheers,

      Shoot. That's what I was afraid of...I uncommented the extensions line and I've got my path right...so given that those two things are done and done right am I correct in assuming it should work, IF I have compatibility on the DLL and PHP build?

      No need to register it manually?

      I'm using PHP Version 4.0.6, and the dll show no version info and a date of yesterday, since that's when I downloaded it.

      Guess I'm going dll hunting.

      Thanks.

        I had the same problem trying to get 4.0.6 working with GD on a windows machine. What I did was revert back to 4.0.4 using the easy windows installer. The easy windows installer comes with the correct build of GD for the PHP build.

        Here is the URL for the installer.

          John,

          Much as I hate to go backwards, I did. And it works. Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe no one has compiled a 4.0.6 compatible php_gd.dll yet?

          Anyway, thanks again.
