GD2 Support

[Alfa166]

Php virgin here, whilst setting up my forums (http://www.alfa-bs.co.uk/forums) i was trying to allow the creation of thumnails to view image attachments.

I have been reliably informed (http://www.alfa-bs.co.uk/forums/index.php?do=phpinfo) that I do not have GD support, can anyone point me in the right direction to get this sorted ?

I'm running php 4.4.0

AFAIK GD is not available on Windows platform. I am not sure if there is maybe a solution to this, but i think not. You might want to ask this question at vbulletin.com in the Server Config forum (search first, i am sure this have been asked before).

Marco, thanks for your comments, heading over to vbulletin.com now.

Update

I've installed Apache and all is well, Thumbnails make such a difference to the over all look of any forum ( my opinion :) )

For anyone having problems go install Apache ( assuming your on a windows based box, added security benifits too.

Make sure there after that you have uncommented php_gd2.dll in your phpinfo file, also make sure your extensions folder is in your phpinfo.

Apologies if any of this is wrong still a php virgin (kinda)

An new one bug??? in VB 3.5.2
Gif thumnails displays if GD version in settings set to "2". But if GD version set to "2" regimage does not work properly eg does not display.
Can it be fixed?
