Installing GB libary Windows XP

I chould not find the answer in the php.net or in this forum.

I know that you have to unhide the line in php.ini extension=php_gd.dll

But I downloaded the php.gd.dll and placed It everywhere(php, windows, system directory) but he keeps saying file not found.

Can somebody help or send me to a step to step tutorial?

Thanxx

If you have PHP install in c:php

then, make sure in your php.ini the extension_dir line is:

extension_dir = ./extensions

and place the dll in the c:phpextensions dir...

Error message:
Unable to load dynamic library './extensions/php_gd.dll' -cannot found given procedure.

Still not working. this message I get all the time!

CHPextensions (on a windows platform)
extension=php_gd.dll (php.ini)
extension_dir = ./extensions (php.ini)

let me guess, your running the install version and not the binary version of php for windows. The install version has issues with running the extensions for php, i suggest that you install the binary version

And why cant you install GD on a install version from windows?

The way that Windows Xp responds to scripting is diferent, than in previous versions, which means that in order to install GB directly it has to directly compiled with the php source distibution, i recommend Nusphere's free version as I have used it on every OS out there and it works great.

And where can I download that Nusphere's free version?

just go to their web site at http://www.nusphere.com and register then go to their downloads section, then click on free downloads, and download it. I actually am using it right now for my test server, and have a modified version on a a couple hosting servers i own.
