RE: [PHP] RE: GD Library Upgrade

Jason, I have root access to my server. It's a dedicated server with 1and1.com. I have zero experience with shell commands and will be working off of any directions I can find online. I'm researching whether to upgrade PHP from 4.2.2 to 4.3.6 or just upgrade the GD Library from 1.8.4 to the latest. But I'm still not sure if it's best to upgrade the entire thing or just the library. I'm totally new at installing apps via shell...if anyone is interested in doing it for a small fee please let me know!

That was not what was said nor implied in my reply. Basically upgrading the GD lib used by PHP needs root privileges. If I understand you correctly, you're on a shared host, thus _you_ are not able to upgrade anything. If you do manage to persuade your hosting company to do an upgrade then they may as well upgrade PHP and use the bundled GD lib which apparently works better with PHP than the standard GD lib as opposed to just upgrading the GD lib. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Put your Nose to the Grindstone! -- Amalgamated Plastic Surgeons and Toolmakers, Ltd. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
