GD Graphics Library

[my84mcss]

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this software cuz I cannot figure out how the hell to install it on my server. Any help would be really great.

TIA

What OS and what software is on this server?

 

[eloj]

$ sudo apt-get install libgd-dev

HTH.

 

[HHunt]

Or cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions ; make config; make install clean . Or yum install php4-gd (or whatever). Or find a windows installer package.

It really does depend on the OS and distro.

 

[my84mcss]

The OS is Server 2003, and I have IIS installed, Cerberus FTP Server, and Plesk installed.

 

[HHunt]

Ah, windows. That doesn't exactly make things easier, let me see what I can find.
edit: What version of PHP?
edit again: I'm not sure if I understand this correctly, but let's try.

You should already have php_gd2.dll in your PHP directory. Search for it to make sure.
To enable it, you should only need to add a line like:
extention=php_gd2.dll
in your php.ini file. Look for similar lines to see where to put it.

Did you try what HHunt suggested?

If its not a PHP Enviroment your trying to use it in then simply download
http://www.boutell.com/gd/http/gdwin32.zip
and throw the files into your application path.

Yeah, the gd file that he named, was not anywhere in the php folder.
