PHP Does not Support GD ( Still need help, done all I can do )

[Kenshino]

As I understand, GD was bundled with PHP 4.3.x and above.

I have PHP 4.3.7 and I've followed the instructions on http://www.boutell.com/gd/faq.html to enable GD.

In the config, I've set GD 2.x as default and somehow in the debug info, GD is not detected and when I upload files, it fails.

Addtional Info, I have MYSQL 4.0.21, PHP 4.3.7, Apache 2.0 running on RedHat Linux 9

The Debug info is as follow

To enable GD in PHP, you don't follow any instructions at the GD site.  In php.ini you need to uncomment the gd2 extension line and recompile PHP then restart Apache.

[Kenshino]

Oh, so you HAVE to recompile php no matter what?

I did uncomment it.

And restarted Apache without recompiling.

I was under the impression that you did not need to recompile.

Thank you, I shall try it tomorrow and post back here again.

[kegobeer]

Under Windows any change in php.ini goes into effect once you restart Apache.  Under Linux you have to recompile.
