    How to make php_gd2.dll working

    Hello,

    I am trying hard to configure php_gd2.dll to work with my apache 2.2 web server and not getting it... I have copied php_gd2.dll in my ext php directory and have uncommented the extension=php_g d2.dll line of my php.ini file and

    I have also set my extension_dir to:
    extension_dir = "E:\PHP\ext "
    I have tried switching the back slashes to forward slashes but no

    I have PHP 5.2.5
    I have Apache 2.2
    I'm using Windows XP Pro SP 2

    And still not able to get php_gd2.dll to work! Can someone please help me solve this issue?

    The error I'm getting is:
    PHP Warning: PHP Startup: gd: Unable to initialize module
    Module compiled with module API=20090626, debug=0, thread-safety=1
    PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=1
    These options need to match
    in Unknown on line 0

    I have also read Nert solution post (http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/585340-how-make-php_gd2-dll-working) and don't want to downgrade my PHP installation because I have 2 Joomla sites and 1 Moodle site running under it.

      I'd think you'd need would find a gd module that's compiled against the same sources.

      But since I've only run Apache on Linux/Unix and IIS on windows, I might be missing something obvious to those who run Apache on Windows.

      Seems like you're not the only one having this issue...

          Thank you dgreenhouse.

          I think you are in the correct solution path! I have tried using gd modules from the latest version of php-5.3.1-Win32-VC6-x86 and from version 5.2.1-nts-win32 and haven't got it working! I will keep searching the internet for a php_gd2.dll module from PHP 5.2.5 version...
