Hi

I have had some trouble when trying to get GD to work on my win2k machine. Since I'm not really into the whole "compile source" swamp I'd like to get the binaries directly, or at least the dll.

I found something on sourceforge but it wouldn't work. The strange thing was that that dll-file was called libgd.dll instead of php_gd.dll which I think it should be. The same thing happened with pnglib and ziplib.

Well, do anyone know how I can get the newest possible dll's?

    I cannot find any binaries on their (GDs own) site. The zip-file do not contain any dll which is the only thing I want really... gaaaghh!

      Download the full zip distro from php.net. It has the GD extension binary (and basically all others except mycrypt and postgres... neither of which support Win32).

        it's no problem to get gd to run in windoze
        simply copy the dll to the extension dir and add to php.ini:
        extension_dir=drive:\path\to\php
        uncomment the line:
        extension=php_gd.dll

        and that's it
        or if you want to load it dynamically, insert the following line at the top of a script:

        dl ("php_gd.dll");

        BUT has anyone an idea about how to fix this??

        thanks
