Checking an include?

[colicab-d]

Ok just a quick wee question

How would I go about checking if GD was enabled using php,

Im writing a script that uses it at the moment and need to be able to have it print out the version of GD being used.

I als want to define extra conditions depending on the version enabled on the server.


i.e

PHP Code:

if($gdversion=="1.0"){
$enable = false;
}

there is a nice function gd_info

You can also tell if it exists at all via something like:

PHP Code:

if (function_exists("imagecreate")) // or function_defined 


[Xenon]

but that won't give him the version filbie

[assassingod]

PHP Code:

<?php
        phpinfo();
?>

Would work as well, tells you GD info there

That only works on 4.3.0 and above, where you can usually assume that the GD version is 2.0

Mabey a admin controled switch like in vB 3? .

Easiest solution to see if you have 2.0, IMO, follows.

PHP Code:

if (function_exists("imagealphablending"))
{
    $enable=1;
} 


Combined two ideas of filburt's.
