mc.edwards Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Help - newbie struggling with config on my desktop. Using PHP 5.2/Apache 2.2/MySQL 5) I have copied php_gd2.dll (which I had to copy out of a php 4.3 download as I couldn't find it anywhere else) into ../php/ext and amended php.ini to use it. This has not made it available to use (I'm trying to install to use in Drupal CMS - v5.1). I've struggled with finding documentation on how to do this - it usually refers to *nix and downloads all seem to require compiling - all a bit beyond my current technical grasp. Can anyone advise?

paul2463 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 To turn it on, the you 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. courtesy of <a href="http://www.boutell.com/gd/faq.html">Boutell.Com</a> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/39790-solved-trying-to-install-gd-library-wont-work/#findComment-192339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc.edwards Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yes I have. I getting to the point where I feel the need to reinstall PHP - I did it with the installer.Would it be better to do it manually? I 've seen some stuff out there saying a similar problem was overcoming by going back to PHP 4.somethingorother - seems unreasonable to me that something so fundamental as enabling extensions can't be made to work in the latest version!
