Sure, stick <?php phpinfo(); ?> into a .php file and load it into your browser. It should have a section labeled gd if it's enabled. Also check out the configure line at the top if it's present. It should say somewhere in that line --with-gd=[...] > It's a UNIX, but it's not my server (a friend's), so I only have > remote access to it (it's located, oh, about 2000 miles away :). > Anyway, if it was NOT installed, how easy/hard would it be to set it > up? Depends.. if your friend set up PHP, he'll need to rebuild PHP with gd support. It can be tricky sometimes, which is why I suggested NetPBM, which doesn't require you to rebuild PHP, but will undoubtedly need safe_mode=Off because you'll need to process the images with exec() or http://www.php.net/backticks. -- -Brian Clark | PGP is spoken here: 0xE4D0C7C8 Please, DO NOT carbon copy me on list replies.
