The odds aren't that good, unless the current gd is loaded from a shared object instead of linked directly to php. Check your configure command from phpinfo() if it has the option --with-gd then it was linked directly. Otherwise it is loaded from an shared object file located in your 'extention_dir' If it is loaded from extension_dir you can rebuild gd2 module and replace the old one, and it will use that one instead. I don't think you can load both into php. Curt -- "My PHP key is worn out" PHP List stats since 1997: http://zirzow.dyndns.org/html/mlists/
