Hi,
I am new to all this .I am trying to compile G.D 2.0x with my php version and i need it to use the image verification feature which will work only if this is enabled.
If someone has done this before please help.
Thank you
Mallika.

Moving topic to web servers.

What operating system is this on?

Can someone post how to do this in Linux? specifically, centOS 4 but it doesn't really matter what flavor really, as I'm sure the instructions are the same rather yer using SuSe, Debian, Slak, Fedora, or whatever.

I was told (I have no clue if this is true or not)
that you have to compile PHP manually (cant just yum for it) to get GD to work with PHP 4...Does anyone know if this is true or not? and if so, how is that done? and does PHP 5 have the same issue?

I have a VPS with 2 domains that both require pspell and GD for my forum, and my blog, and since I can't seem to get my hosting provider to do it for me, I was wondering how to do it? Whenever I ask them to do it, they always leave another module I need for my forum out, like first it was GD, then it was pspell, then gzip er something like that, and since PHP has to be recompiled every time I want a new module added, I was just wondering how to do it exactally so that I can do it without having to ask them each time.

thanks

I am not familiar with PHP on Linux/Unix, so this may or may not help. If PHP has been compiled with support for the gd library, but the extension has simply not been loaded, find a line similar to the following in your php.ini and remove any semi-colon ";" at the start of the line to uncomment the code. Stop/start the web server to get the change to take effect -
extension=php_gd2.so
