Hi, I have removed all but the one in C:\PHP5 which the phpinfo said was 'the one' and restarted the server, all OK so got the right one. I used `php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi' to install originally and I have to say it ran from the word go and has never had a problem. I have always feared a reinstall as I have read about a few problems caused by doing this. I can always set a restore point and jump in. Only took a mo, I used the WinStaller and found the option right away and now have GD2 installed and running, sorry all I never have to do anything to php or apache as it just works and so I forget it all. Many thanks to all respondees, David Think I may be pushing it a bit but as an aside when I log on here the logon screen looks like a lightbox, does anyone know how to do this, or know of a good tutorial?

Hi All, I have an installation of PHP 5.2.4 with Apache 2.2.4 and I am trying to install the GD2 extension. I have read everything I can find on the web and nothing helps. I found I only need to uncomment the text ';extension=php_gd2.dll'. My php.ini does not contain that line so I added it right after 'extension=php_mysqli.dll' under 'Dynameic Extensions'. My extensions folder is 'C:\php\ext' and on checking was completely empty. A search for the dll came up with nothing so I downloaded php 5.2.17, opened the zip and copied everything from the ext folder to my 'C:\php\ext' folder. Restarted the server but there is no GD2 section when accessing phpinfo. I am a software developer by trade and find the whole php/Apache environment chaotic when applied to Windows (I hope it is better on Linux). As an aside why do I have four php.ini files? I have found 'the one' by reading my phpinfo but this is a little confusing? Any ideas please? Kindest regards David
