GD lib .dll

Anon

Ok, I have now downloaded a gdlib dll file for win32. How do I get it to work? yes I am a newbie to this so please be gentle!
I am using apache with php 4.0
no mention of gd on phpinfo.
cheers.

The easiest way to solve this is to use the gd dll that comes with your PHP distribution.

In <PHP4 Home>\extensions\ directory you will find a file called php_gd.dll.

To enable all the GD functions, simple uncomment the extension=php_gd.dll line in your php.ini file, bounce Apache et voila.

Cheers,

P.s there are a couple of very good tutorials around drawing graphics in the Articles section of this site. There are also quite a few already written PHP libraries for graphing.

ok, that would be fine. except that I don't have that folder!
I have
Backup
session data
upload temp
as folders but nothing else in the c:/php/ folder!?
what am I missing here?

Suggest you download 4.1.2. from http://uk.php.net (UK mirror).

The directory structure I have under PHP has several directories:

\browsercap
\dlls
\extensions
\java
\mibs
\pdf-related
\pear
\sapi

If you want to run it as a module in Apache (by far the best way), pick the 5.8Mb zip package, as this has all the necessary dlls etc.

It's a doddle to install (literally only a couple of mins).

ok. I have sorted that now. I have done what you said on the first post.
I now get this error:
Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpg() in c:\apache(~etc)\php\cardview.php on line 9

what is wrong?
