Great Instruction but.. is there anyway of testing the GD library is installed I made the changes you suggested restarted apache and got the error JpGraph Error This PHP installation is not configured with the GD library. Please recompile PHP with GD support to run JpGraph. (Neither function imagetypes() nor imagecreatefromstring() does exist) when running [a href=\"http://localhost/jpgraph-2.1.1/src/Examples/accbarex1.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://localhost/jpgraph-2.1.1/src/Examples/accbarex1.php[/a] (I made the changes to the php.ini file within c:\windows) Thanks Dan

[a href=\"http://www.advsofteng.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.advsofteng.com/[/a] If you don't register it, it just adds a small yellow line under all your graphs with a link to their site. But it is truly powerful. [/quote] I had actually seen page and downloaded GD. Extracted it to a file C:/GD on my windows box, then it asks to extract a batch file which i didnt get. Not sure what to do now??, thanks for the second link will check it out when i have the first bit working. I guess that is essential?

Yesterday i downloaded PHP for the first time, usually I have used ASP but awnted to give PHP a try for university. I installed apache and then PHP and the test page worked. Today i need to download graphical packages than enabled me to create graphs. I want to be able to pass information from a database and create a pie chart line chart, whatever So when I cam accross JpGraph i was happy as it seems to do what I need. So, I downloaded the jpgraph-2.1.1.tar file. I am running a windows machine. I then placed this into the htdocs folder on the apache folder. Then i tried to run one of the examples (http://localhost/jpgraph-2.1.1/src/Examples/bargradex1.php) This is when I recieve the error: JpGraph Error This PHP installation is not configured with the GD library. Please recompile PHP with GD support to run JpGraph. (Neither function imagetypes() nor imagecreatefromstring() does exist) What exactly do I have to download / install to where to be able to use this graphical package. I have read the FAQ but am very confused Any help would be much appreciated for this PHP rookie! Thanks Dan
