It is recommended (well, more than recommended - I'd say required) to run
extensions ONLY when downloaded/installed with a MATCHING compiled binary of
PHP. A current copy of the GD dll is available with php4.0.3 (along with a
lot of other extensions) from http://www.php4win.de. Download
and install
php4.0.3 from there, following the included directions (basically match the
main win32 install instructions on php.net). You shouldn't need to copy ANY
extension DLLs to the windows or windows/system directories, as they are
loaded from whatever directory is specified by "extension_dir" in your
php.ini.
Most win32 users on this list use the php4win binaries, and NOT the ones
from swwwing.com, as the folks at php4win recompile the source and
extensions regularly (whenever new CVS releases come out), and they are also
regular contributors to this list - so they're never too far away.
