I'm working with a host on a Linux box with PHP 4.2.2. The version of GD
Library they have is 1.8.4. I was uploading some pictures using a script
that leveraged GD Library 2+. Using the php version with the newer GD
library seemed to produce a better quality image. I have two questions:
1 - Can a newer version of GD Library (1.8.4 vs 2+) make a difference in
image quality?
2 - I'd like to upgrade the Linux box that has PHP 4.2.2 and GD Library
1.8.4 to the most recent version. Is this easy? Any guidance? Do I need a
patch?
PS - I've been working off of this site: http://www.boutell.com/gd but
wanted to bounce this around with some experts first.
