GD module – need basic info...

Hi All

Some stupid questions from a newbe :-)

I want to create graphs from int arrays. I'm told I can use the GD
module... I have RedHat 9, PHP4 and apache 2.

I know nothing about the GD module so I need to know:


How do I know if the module is installed on my computer?

Where can I find some tutorials or instructions for "idiots"?

Where can I find documentation like reference manual and user manual?

thanks,,,

Ask PHP. :-)
Make a script with this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and run it.
It will have a GD-part.
READ IT.

I expect you to have GD2 because you run RH9.
(Isn't that just called Fedora?)

PS: Have a look at helper-libraries, like jpgraph.
google for it.

Hi G520,

Good luck.
Just come back if things are unclear.
But I think you can find it all on www.php.net.

Good luck.
