Gd

[InNeedofHelp]

Can somebody please help me get my GD library installed? I've been to php.net and tried from them but i'm just really confused. I'm currently running WindowsXP, and have downloaded a GD library from this site:

http://www.boutell.com/gd/

Any help would be great.
Thanks.

You evidently didn't read the chain of documentation correctly

php 4.3.x is available, and it includes a version of gd as "standard equipment." php_gd2.dll is included in a standard PHP installation for Windows, it's just not enabled by default. To turn it on, the user may simply uncomment the line "extension=php_gd2.dll" in php.ini and restart the PHP extension. Change:

#extension=php_gd2.dll

To:

extension=php_gd2.dll

You may also have to correct the extension directory setting from:

extension_dir = "./"

Or:

extension_dir = "./extensions"

To (FOR WINDOWS):

extension_dir = "c:/php/extensions"

NOTE: SUBSTITUTE THE ACTUAL PHP INSTALLATION DIRECTORY ON *YOUR* COMPUTER.

Ok so my GD is installed just as you showed above, yet my images dont show. Any Idea why that is?

probably ImageMagick

If you access your image-generating pages directly, you'll be able to see the errors.

probably ImageMagick

ImageMagick and gd are two totally seperate libraries.

When i access the only page i have that makes the image, nothing shows up. Do I have to download each of the libraries at www.php.net/gd ? I mean like the Font librarys and such.

Also, when i do print_r(gd_info()) nothing shows up.

Try:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

at the top of your page.

The page turns out blank, just like before.

Try not setting the Content-Type header.
