I am a bit of a newbie - maybe someone here can point me in the right
direction.
I am unfortunately stuck working with an NT host but I have a bit of control
there and I was able to install PHP on their machine and make it work with
IIS4. I would very much like to get the GD library working in this scenario
but I am a bit confused.
I have uncommented the references to php3_gd.dll (and zlib) in the php3.ini
file but this alone does not enable me to use GD yet, does it?
From what I can tell, I need a version of GD compiled for windows and also
installed somewhere on the system...is this right??
The module/extension php3_gd.dll is just an interface to the actual GD
program right? Is there anyone out there willing to share a pre-compiled of
the latest GD or is there anywhere on the web I can acquire this? This
seems like something that would be commonly needed and so I'm thinking its
got to be available somewhere!
On www.boutell.com/gd I read something to the effect that I would also need
other libraries installed to use GD (libpng , jpeg-6b or later ,zlib)
Unfortunately I don't have any access to a compiler environment for NT so I
was hoping to find everything precompiled, but I'm not having much luck.
Can anyone out there help out a confused but eager PHP user with some step
by step, retard-friendly instructions?
Thanks in advance
