How do I install/activate the GD library with my existing PHP version? I'm quite sure it isn't already, since I got this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreate() in
/Volumes/Data/Users/luca/Library/WebServer/Documents/reloadTest/image.php on
line 6 Please forgive my ignorance, and thanks for your help
On windows it's as easy as downloading the dll from pecl4win.php.net. But from your directory structure i presume you have some sort of *nix system. So you have to reconfigure and rebuild PHP.
Ouch... first try installing the php gd module through whatever package manager your *nix distribution uses. For instance, on Ubuntu linux you'd do: sudo aptitude install php5-gd

Ouch? That's exactly what i added to my post "Make sure GD is installed on the system."
