RE: explaination required for how gd merges with os/apache/php
Quote:
ok, can someone give me a quick run down how gd fits into a web server.
here is what I think...
gd is program which runs on the os.
php then can use this
apache plays no role.
correct so far?
so I have gd 1.8.4 installed on my netbsd box
then I have the php gd bit (no version (just for the version of php) I end up with version 1.6.2 or higher listed in the php info.
Soooo... I need to get gd 2 or higher.
IF I complie the lastest source of php, with the gd options, will this give me 2.0 OR does the version I have on netbsd play a part in that I would need to recompile gd from the lastest source to get version 2 of that.
I do know the gd program was a depentcy of the php/gd module install.
thanks |
gd is just a lib which can be complied into different things to get graphich support... and yes apache plays no role in this.
you need to get the latest gd source installed and compiled on your server and then recompile php with the gd options then you will have php with gd2 support.
Hope it helps!
