    problem loading php_gd2.dll php5/apache2.0+

    Wondering if anyone can recomend some sample code for dynamically
    loading the GD module.

    I have tried setting the extension dir in php.ini, and loading the GD
    module from there when apache is started, but it won't load.

    There is also the option of dynamically loading the module at run time
    of the script.

    LD() i believe is the call.

    Anyone able to recommend a workaround here?

    Or provide a hint with a sample?

    Here's the closest usage of DL() i have found but not quite what I
    need,


    <?php
    $gd_is_shared = "shared-library";

    if (function_exist s('ImageCreateF romPNG') && !@dl('gd.so')) {
    $gd_is_shared = "embedded";
    }

    print $gd_is_shared;
    ?>

    I'm just hoping to determine what the error message is as to why it
    won't load under windows.

      If it won't load at Apache startup, there's a problem. And I would
      expect this problem would keep it from loading dynamically, also.

      Did you check your Apache error log? Perhaps even your Windows event
      log might have something.

          hi, I think I may have a syntax error in the Load module directive in
          httpd.conf

          I have made a guess as I could not find the specific definition for
          calling the GD module.

          I've included the correct syntax bellow for loading the php5 module,
          which i used as a guide.

          LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2.dll "
          Loadmodule gd_module "C:/program Files/PHP/php_gd2.dll"
          ^^^^^^^^^

          Instead of gd_module, what should I use above?

          Thanks

              Further experimentation shows that the error being generated is:

              Syntax error on line 963 of "C:/program files/Apache Group/Apache2/
              conf/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure 'gd2_module' in
              file C:/program files/PHP/php_gd2.dll

              Any further ideas appreciated.

                      I fixed it. Turns out that GD is loaded as an extension under php5,
                      not a module, and has to be invoked from php.ini There was also a path
                      issue in php.ini, where an absolute path was required instead of the
                      default relative one.
