php extension woes
Posted: Wed May 25, 2005 11:26 am
Hi, I am trying to find a way to switch on the GD Image Manipulation Library
. I can do this easily on my local machine, it's just a case of enabling it
in the php.ini file.
My problem is that I have to find a way to do it on someone else's server wh
ere they have virtual hosting and therefore cannot alter the php.ini file di
rectly - I am assuming the gd library is there but not enabled (since it is
bundled with php 4). Is there a way to enable it using something like ini_se
t() or similar? Please help, I am very tired... (Also, I know I could/should phone the webspace administrators, but what I really want is to develop the most generic, automatic solution possible)
