Okay, its a good start. First, we will check that GD is actually being
started by php.
Create a new file and call it test.php
Into the file put this:
<?php
phpinfo( 8 );
?>
Then browse to the test.php file. It will output a list of all the installed
modules on your version of php. Then, all you need to do is look for the
section called 'GD'. On my php installation, phpinfo(8) output the following
about GD:
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
If you can find something similar on your version of phpinfo, then we know
that it is being correctly activated by php. If you can't, then we know
there is a problem somewhere when you try to load it. For your reference,
you can view what is output by my phpinfo(8) at
http://scryt.no-ip.com/test.php
Let me know how it goes!
