PHP5 beta problems with WinXP/Apache2 and GD

Hiya, I wonder if anyone has come across the following problem, too, or can give me advice on how/whether this is a configuration problem, a bug, an as-yet-unsupported extension, or simply a missing library on my side: - I run PHP 5.0.0b2-dev with Apache 2.0.44 under Windows XP. I have tried several recent Win32 builds from snaps.php.net and they all give the same symptom - In my php.ini, I have uncommented the "extension=php_gd2.dll" line, and the extension_dir points to the correct location - Upon startup, Apache shows two warnings with identical text: "Invalid access level for gd_info() - access must be exactly one of public, protected, or private" - after showing the warnings, Apache starts normally and PHP scripts that do not rely on GD work without undue problems. - my tried and tested graphics PHP script fails with the following error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function ImageCreate() in ..." - phpinfo() reports the GD extension as enabled, bundled, and GD 2.0.15 compatible, as I guess should be. Any suggestions? Regards, Ulrich
