GD Library

Anon

Hi,

I'm working with a Apache server under Windows NT Server, and I'm using PHP 4.0.4.

I need to buiil dynamic images so I did the folowing:
downloaded the php_gd.dll library and put it in the corresponding directory.
I activated the extension in the php.ini.
I tried a simple script and it doesn't work.
So I have looked into the PHP handbook where says that I have to install the http://www.boutell.com/gd/. I downloaded it and it consists of a large number of "C" files. In a help file I read that this "library" should also be installed, but I don't know how. Please, tell me if this is my problem or where could I find it.

Best regards and thanks in advance

You have to compile GD with PHP which can sometimes be a pain figuring it out

You could get a package that already has GD compiled like PHPtriad

Try getting the new zip file for PHP4 from http://www.php.net it will have the php_gd.dll and php_gd2.dll already in it. All you will have to do is uncomment the line in the php.ini to use it.
