#46030 [NEW]: Bundled GD for Windows does not work
From: paulschechter at yahoo dot com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: GD related Bug description: Bundled GD for Windows does not work Description: I cannot get GD on my windows system with PHP5 to work. My phpinfo() says "--with-gd=shared" ". This is the only instance of the word 'gd' I have in the phpinfo() text (no "GD Support enabled"). This is what I've done so far: -Reinstalled PHP5.2.6 making sure to include the GD extension in the installation. -Ensured that the extension_dir path in my php.ini file was correct -uncommented extension=php_gd2.dll -ensured that php_gd2.dll is in fact, in the 'ext' directory -Installed an external version of GD (gd-2.0.33-1) I think that I have to somehow direct PHP to the external version of GD, but I do not know how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Reproduce code: --- No code. Expected result: I expect GD to work and my phpinfo() text to say that GD is actually enabled, not just shared. Actual result: -- GD doesn't work and phpinfo() just says GD is shared. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46030&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=needscript Try newer version:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=support Expected behavior:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=dst IIS Stability:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error:http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46030&r=mysqlcfg
#46030 [Fbk->Opn]: Bundled GD for Windows does not work
ID: 46030 User updated by: paulschechter at yahoo dot com Reported By: paulschechter at yahoo dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 5.2.6 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Hi, thanks for the fast reply. Wow, I feel kind-of dumb because I've been working on this bug for a couple of days now, but restarting apache2.2 seemed to do the trick. Thanks a lot! I imagine it probably wasn't all that simple because I've restarted my computer many times over the last couple days to no avail. However, more recently I added the lib files from my external installation of gd into my php lib directory...and I don't think I had restarted apache since then. So maybe the restart after doing this made it work...who knows. Anyway, thanks again. Previous Comments: [2008-09-09 17:11:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The configure line is only an information. It does not say that the extension is loaded or not. Only the GD table (like the other extension) can a be a proof that GD is loaded. Please check: - the right php.ini is used (phpinfo() tells you which one you use) - the extension_dir is an absolute (c:\php5\ext for example) - you have restarted your server [2008-09-09 17:01:17] paulschechter at yahoo dot com Description: I cannot get GD on my windows system with PHP5 to work.
