    GD 2 on php?

    Hello everybody,

    I'm looking for a php gallery management system and I would like to check
    something.

    The setup for the management system says I need GD version 2 to get nice
    thumbnails. I looked it up on www.php.net and I think it says that GD 2 is
    built in php 4.3.2. I'm running php 4.3.4 on Windows XP home. Does that mean
    I don't have to worry about that? Or do I still have to "activate" the GD?

    I'm a php newbie so go easy on me please ;-)

    Roger

      Get the .zip version of the download (not the installer), it comes with many
      prebuilt libraries. php_gd2.dll is one of them.

      Edit php.ini, set extension_dir to the right directory, remove the ';' comment
      in front of the extension=php_g d2.dll line, stop&start webserver and you'll
      have GD2 enabled.

      Check with the following short script:

      <?php phpinfo(); ?>

      This dumps lots of configuration information, including loaded extensions.

          For what it's worth, I'm a fan of Gallery, an opensource photo manager
          built in PHP. http://gallery.menalto.com/

          I use it, and like it. http://www.dantripp.com/gallery
