I am running IIS5 and PHP 4.2.0 - the problems is that I need to place text on an image

but I dont have GDlib installed.
Can anybody tell me where I can find a compiled binary version of GDlib and an install tutorial please
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

it's in the distribution of php for win32. add 'extension=php_gd2.dll' to your php.ini. The .dll is in <php>\extension. Since this is gd 2.xx there is no support for gif-images anymore.

Thanks for answering Volka.
I found that but when I changed it - it hung the browser
I am running PHP as a CGI module - do I have to change to ISAPI?

if it is possible to change to isapi do so. it's faster, it's smarter - it's better at all

i.e. php lacks some of the auth-information if it is running as cgi on IIS.

did it hung your browser or the request?

Ok, I will change it to ISAPI today

thanks for the tip.
and yes it hung on the request
Its the first time ive installed PHP on an W2K box.... SO its probably something Ive done.
I'll see if i can clean out the CGI install and start again
Thanks for taking the time to help me
