RE: [PHP] GD

I'm using Slackware 10 and installed GD as an install package. I also changed some lines in the php.ini file for GD. Tom: I have no idea how this program works, all I know is that I need it for the captcha program to display the image. I wouldn't even bother otherwise. Thanks.....

That way you don't have to re-compile PHP. If you use an RPM based distro, this would be very easy. Free-BSD you could just compile the port. -- Ray Hauge Programmer/Systems Administrator American Student Loan Services www.americanstudentloan.com 1.800.575.1099
