installing php_gd.dll on Windows ME

[Anon]

Hi,

I have recently installed php-4.1.1 on Windows ME. I am at the moment trying to install php_gd.dll. What I have done so far is:

1. created a new folder called extensions in my php directory, and placed the php_gd.dll in the folder.

2. made a copy of php_gd.dll and placed it in C:\windows\system

3. inserted the following lines into my php.ini file (which is placed in C:\windows):

[extension]
extension_dir=C:\php\extensions extension=php_gd.dll

The problem is, when I try to view the php code I have written using some of the functions from the php_gd.dll in IE, it is telling me that "Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php\extensions\php_gd.dll'"

Can someone please help?

Thanks

Susan,

The php_gd.dll file needs to be in the folder specified by extension_dir (c:\php\extensions in your example). Move the file into that folder and restart the server, that should solve your problem.

Thanks for your reply.

So now I have a copy of php_gd.dll in my
c:\php\extensions folder and also in my c:\windows\system folder, and it is still not working...

The alert message I am getting from IE is:
"PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\extensions/php_gd.dll' "
