I'm mad NEWB, installation of PHP.

[scr0p]

Ok so I got php installed (4.3.0) and I am using it (apache), and then my books gets to this part about dynamic images, but It says undefined function for $id = createimage() and whatnot, I didn't install it with GD library.. how do I install the library now that I have PHP working already? also the same applies to the database 'thing'.. (DBM).

You can get the graphic library here, but the DBM functions are deprecated.

"php 4.3.0 is available, and it includes a version of gd as "standard equipment.""

This says that PHP 4.3.0 has gd with it, but how do I 'enable' it?

To enable GD-support configure PHP --with-gd[=DIR], where DIR is the GD base install directory. To use the recommended bundled version of the GD library configure --with-gd. In Windows you'll include php_gd2.dll as an extension in php.ini. There is also php_gd.dll for GD1 but it's not preferred.

Enhance the capabilities of GD to handle more image formats by specifying the --with-XXXX configure switch to your PHP configure line.
