Installing GD2 in XAMPP

Sam Granger · 09-28-2007, 01:49 PM

Hello guys,

I'm having some troubles setting up gd2 in XAMPP. I've got the php_gd2.dll in my ext folder and my php.ini file is pointing to the correct extension folder. I have removed the ';' infront of php_gd2.dll and it's still not working. I even have tried restarting apache... Does anyone here know what I am doing wrong?

Problem fixed. I found out that php was loading a very old php.ini file, how can I change the file it loads? I replaced the file for the meantime but would rather change the file location.

You can change the location of php.ini by setting it in httpd.conf on Apache - alongside the PHP definition.

Code:

PHPIniDir "C:/php"
LoadFile "C:/php/php5ts.dll"
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

or you could just do this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

    dl('GD2.dll');

    

    // [ CODE HERE ]

?>
