php noob needs some help
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2005 10:48 am
i posted a while ago for some advice on php, i havent tried anything with it since but right now i am looking into setting up this program called phpThumb.
http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/
anyway theres several things i cant figure out
where do i put teh phpThumb files? do i upload them with my site to the root folder and refer to it from there? also it says it uses the GD library. does that mean that i have to download and set that up as well? if so where do i put the GD library? it appears that GD is something that the server needs to actively execute. am i going to be restricted to sites that are running GD all the time? in order to get php thumb to work do i have to put some kind of include or script at the beginning of my html document.
none of these simple questions are addressed clearly on the phpThumb site.
Thanks for your help in advance.
