Anon

win98 and php4 with apache....

how can i fix it?

Is there a copy of php_gd.dll on your box? Does your extension_dir driective in php.ini point to the folder where php_gd.dll lives? Does the path in extension_dir use Unix-style forward slashes and have a trailing slash? If your answer to all these questions is yes, it should be working and you'll need to post a bit more info. If any qestion is answered no, change the settings and restart apache.

style forward slashes and have a
trailing slash?

Actually, php.ini on win32 uses backslashes and doesn't require trailing slash. Havent tried with forward slashes though, perhaps it works. But it doesn't require them. It's Apache that needs unix-style slashes on win32.

As for the original problem - perhaps you're using wrong php_gd version?

i think you can set the extensions-dir in the php.ini file. And then use dl("php_gd.dll") function to load it.
The version of php_gd.dll with php4.0.6 does not support gif files, but it supports png files.

Actually, the dl() function doesn't work on multi-threaded webservers (most Win32 servers) and will just cuase an error. What you'll need to do is set extension_dir in php.ini and then uncomment (remove the semi-colon) from the following line, also in php.ini.

;extension=php_gd.dll

Now restart the webserver and GD should be enabled. Call phpinfo() to verify this.
