Re: [PHP] What is the GD library and what can I do with it ?
Pete wrote: Hello Rob, What is your local environment? (OS, PHP version, etc.) If you're running windows, most likely all you will have to do is change your php.ini. The OS used is Windows XP. Open your php.ini file, set your extension_dir variable to where the extensions directory is. If you installed php in c:\php, then the directory is c:\php\extensions. The gd library is bundled with the .zip package for Windows. If you downloaded the .exe (binary installer), you may be missing some extensions. Download the .zip file for Windows, uncompress it, and then copy all the files from the extensions directory into your local php install folder. Once you've done that, uncomment remove the ; from the line in php.ini that reads ;extension=gd.dll ( I think that's what its called, may also be gd2.dll ). Save php.ini, restart your web server, and then view the output from phpinfo(); Should see the gd extension enabled :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Pete, I thought I should send you another reply as I felt that depending on your experience, you may not fully understand the resonses from other members. Firstly, create a new .php file and using the following source code: * Untitled Document ** Upload this to your webspace and then view your .php page and it will tell you everything you need to know about your server's PHP install.

Hi, What is the GD library ? How can I install it. I have PHP integrated as a module. Judging by the discussion that people have here the GD library sounds interesting. How do I know if my shared host has it ?
