GD Graphics Library and PHP

Post by VideoDude »

Hi, I'm generally not versed in PHP. I've done some reading about linking the GD graphics library with PHP. It's pretty clear that one way to get GD to work with PHP is to compile PHP with GD included. I'm not a SysAdmin and really want to attempt to steer clear of a re-compilation of PHP.

I've successfully installed GD onto my server via "PKG-GET -i". I'm curious whether there's a way to link PHP to GD without going through a re-compilation process?

In the latest php versions, php comes with gd already. So there is no need anymore to install gd seperately and recompile php with gd support.
