Assuming that you have the full binary download of PHP (The zip file version) you allready have the extensions you require on your computer.
All you need to do is change a couple of lines in php.ini

Firstly change the value of the varible extension_dir to "path_to_php_dir\extensions" then in the subsection of the INI file called extensions uncomment the relevant files you need. eg gd.dll

Hop this helps (and i got all the information right, i'm doing this off the top of my head)
