did you try looking on php.net? http://www.php.net/gd

I got to the GD website, but I'm not very good at this.
I already have PHP installed, so what should I download?
Thanks

you may already have it installed, just need to turn it on.. look through your php.ini and you install's extensions folder.. enable it in php.ini and make sure it's in the extensions folder.. restart apache..

hmm. When i look through the PHP.ini for GD, I only find ";extension=php_gd2.dll"
I had PHP installed by an executable that bundled Apache, PHP, MySQL, and PHPmyAdmin, and it has no information if it installed Gd-lib with it.

remove the ; in front of it.. and try restarting apache..

first things first, FLASH.png exists? "../fonts/ARIALBD.TTF" exists?

try moving ARIALBD.TTF to the scripts directory, lose the FLASH.png reference, and use [php_man]imagecreatetruecolor[/php_man]() to create a temporary one..

Yeah, it was because i needed the font in my root folder.
Thanks a lot! You saved me a lot of time trying to figure out these install guides!

Thanks!

Whenever I use ImageCreate() it produces garbled text. I got an example from the PHP site and it didn't work. If its an old version of GD, if i need to update it, do I only have to change the Gd2.dll?
Thanks

you have a newer version of GD, so you'll want to use imagecreatetruecolor() instead of imagecreate

Oh. I got it

It was a dumb mistake. I had some HTML after the code so it screwed things up.
Thanks for all the time you spend helping people like me! I wish I could repay you....
If you ever need any graphic work...
