support for gd graphics in php

[drobbins]

Hi Folks

I find myself in need of the gd graphics library from php
this page

http://us.php.net/manual/en/image.installation.php

seems to indicate I need to recompile php with a switch to enable it
is this so?
I've used it in the past, seems like it was just enabled by default
here's the output of phpinfo()

No need to recompile, just install the php-gd package.

[drobbins]

ok, did that
restarted apache
still get same output from phpinfo()
do I need to enable gd in php.ini?

Thanks
Dave

I can see the "gd" section in your phpinfo output that wasn't there before, so all seems to work now.

ok
thanks
that seems to be fixed
I was trying to call gdinfo() and it failed
might have used wrong synax

Thanks
Dave

[edit] it's var_dump(gd_info());

The function is gd_info()
