PHP and GD question

[hakeem777]

I am running CentOS Linux ver 4.4 and found that I have "gd-devel-2.0.28-4.4E.1" package installed. This is a GD library, I supposed. However when I generate the result from phpinfo(), I cannot find the GD section. In addition, when I tried to call gd_info() in the code, it gives error message " undefined function ..." I thought, since "gd-devel-2.0.28-4.4E.1" is installed, I should be able to use GD function. But obviously I am wrong. How can I let php to use GD in my scenario? Thanks.

You'll have to install the PHP5 GD extension. On CentOS, I believe this is done via yum install php-gd

Yep, even though your OS has the a GD package installed, you still need PHP's GD extension to make it available to PHP.

Thanks for the advice. I have tried to use yum. However my server is blocked from outside. Therefore it doesn't work. Any otherway. Thanks.
