Installing PHP GD and PDO extention during Drupal 7 installation

Recommended Posts

Dear all,

during installation of Drupal 7, I got stumbled upon a requirement of installing PHP extensions GD and PDO. I'm using PHP 5.2.17 for windows that got installed using installer. My problem so far is I cannot install extensions in question into my current PHP. I'm using windows 7 64bit.

My questions are:

1. Do I need to install different version of PHP in order to get the extensions? If yes, which version I should download for my current system? (Apache on Windows 7 64)

2. I installed php 5.2.17 thread save because according to the site, I must choose that version since I'm using Apache 2.2 on windows. Should I compile 5.2.17 and include the extensions manually? Is there any easier way?

3. Just curious. Is it possible to compile php5.3 and run it on Apache 2.2 on windows?

 

best regards,

ethereal1m

I got it. I actually very simple, they are included in 5.2.17. What I did was go to uninstaller page, right clicked php icon, chose change, then it brought me to php configuration wizard, then I chose extensions I needed, it wrote php.ini automatically and added dll files on ext directory....
