GD Libraries

General Web Coding PHP and MySQL

Are the GD libraries, specifically GD2, installed on the servers? If not, can they be? I did an

[PHP] echo phpinfo() [/PHP]

and didn’t see them on win2.

Just thought I woud add a note that the ticket I submitted was finally answered and the GD libraries are now installed.

A hearty “Thanks” to tech support!

If you have PHP 4.3.0 or higher you can see what GD support is compiled in using gd_info eg:

print ‘

’;

print_r(gd_info());

print ‘
’;

This will give you something along the lines of:

Array
(
[GD Version] => bundled (2.0.23 compatible)
[FreeType Support] => 1
[FreeType Linkage] => with freetype
[T1Lib Support] => 1
[GIF Read Support] => 1
[GIF Create Support] =>
[JPG Support] => 1
[PNG Support] => 1
[WBMP Support] => 1
[XBM Support] => 1
[JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support] =>
)

They’re installed on Win5, I’m using GD there. I did have to ask for them to be installed though, so it’s possible they’re not on Win2.
