Hi,

I have enabled it in the PHP.ini but get a error that it can not find the Dll.
This is on a windows 2003 server.
If there is something else that I need to do Please advise

Hi,

1. try to put that DLL in your %windir%\system32 directory;
2. call iisreset;
3. Try again opening PMF .

I cannot help you with live attempts 'till the next week when I'll can access to a Windows system.
My suggested checks (depending on how PHP has been installed on your system) are:

1. put your php.ini into the %windir% to see if this help;
2. check for the correct value of extension_dir in your php.ini: it must be equal to the path of the folder where your extensions are;
3. walk through the dependecies of php_gd2.dll to find out if you miss some related DLLs: Dependency Walker 2.1.

Hi,

I have tried the listed above and am getting this error http://www.serveunet.com/temimg/dllerror.bmp

it seems that php4ts.dll is missing: that a/the reason why GD is not correctly setup in your system. Put that DLL into %windir%\system32 while leave the php_gd2.dll in your extension_dir as declared in your php.ini (php.ini should be into %windir%).

I have done this but I still keep getting a error on the server

Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library'./php_gd2.dll'- The specified procedure could not be found.

Hi,
today I've installed PHP 5.2.0, manually as usual, starting from http://www.php.net/get/php-5.2.0-Win32. ... m/a/mirror.
Here are the steps a bit different from those used the previous time when I installed 5.1.6 (and reported in my previous posts on this topic):

1. Uncompress PHP win binaries on a folder (e.g.: C:\PHP\php-5.2.0-Win32) in which IUSR_<MACHINENAME> has READ right;
2. Check that the folder on which you've configured to save sessions has MODIFY right for IUSR_<MACHINENAME>;
3. Add the folder above in the PATH system (NOT user) variable;
4. Create a php.ini starting from php-ini-recommended;
5. Register .php extension in IIS with the file php-cgi.exe that is to say as CGI and NOT as ISAPI (i.e.: using ISAPI I was not able to load ANY extension);
6. open php.ini in order to change at least:

   Code: Select all

   cgi.force_redirect = 0
   ...
   extension_dir = "C:\PHP\php-5.2.0-Win32\ext"
   ...
   extension=php_gd2.dll

IIRC these above are the steps that drives me to have PHP 5.2.0 up&running for testing some issues as reported to the Community.

Matteo
