Note Submitter: Neal Delfeld ---- I have been having trouble using gd on PHP Version 5.2.0. I had PHP installed correctly, the correct dll was in the extension directory, and the extension directory was listed correctly. I restarted IIS a dozen times, trying to make sure I had everything listed correctly. It wasn't until I switched over to the executable (cgi) version of PHP (in IIS) that I got it to work. I was previously using the ISAPI version of PHP through IIS. If this is a problem for other users, they should delete the dll application mapping, and add the application mapping for the cgi version. To delete the mapping to the .dll version of PHP: 1 open IIS 2 expand the "local computer" tree (or wherever the websites are listed) 3 right click on "web sites" and select "properties" 4 click the "home directory" tab 5 click "configuration" 6 under the "mapping" tab, find the ".php" mapping. If the mapping is a .dll file, then select it, and click the "delete" button. to add mapping to the cgi version: 1 in the area where you left off in the deleting, click the "add" button. 2 browse to find the PHP executable "php-cgi.exe". Keep in mind that if you have PHP is a sub-directory, you may have to use 8.3 notation: "C:\Program Files\php\php-cgi.exe" should be: "C:\Progra~1\php\php-cgi.exe" or else it won't work on some versions of IIS. 3 check the box next to "check if file exists" 4 click ok to the rest of the dialogs 5 restart IIS The installation of PHP is better detailed in this website: http://www.thephpguy.com/tutorials /installing_PHP5_mysql_and_iis_on_windows.php#4 later, Neal.
