hi there,

are you on a windows os ? preferable windows 2000 or xp .if you have downloaded the php zip package ther should be a file php_gd.dll all you goto do is edit php.ini

open up php.ini and find

extensions_dir = c:\myextensions path

and with the extensions settings (it's commented)add a line like this

extension = php_gd.dll

if you don't downloaded the zip distribution of php no worries just read this
http://www.delphivillage.be/gd.php when you are done create a script called "info.php"
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
if there is a "gd" section in the table you now have succsesfully setup the gd library

Well,
Cobalt is a Unix only platform. We are running Linux and PHP 4.2. We have everything under the sun installed and working including the infamous cURL, but not GD.

We run Apache 2.0 with PHP and GD on another server using Windows. It was very easy on Windows.

Any other hints?

HI
i have a same problem in GD library support.my os is window and my php is php 4.1.2 zip binary package.
i have edit my php.ini file and set the path like this

extension_dir = C:\Php4\extensions

Php4 is the folder of php, extensions contain some extension like php_gd.dll. then i add the following line too.

extension=php_gd.dll

after following what you teach, my phpinfo file can show "php_gd.dll enable"

Please help me!

you may only add this line one time

extension = php_gd.dll

if the phpinfo(); call shows a gd section you're done you can start using gd now ....
