Subject: Newbie-updates to php?
I'm running Moodle (learning management software) from the school
server and need to know how to update php so that GD is installed.
The server is running 10.3 Server with the latest updates. PHP is
version 4.3.2, Apache is 1.3.28 and I don't know what version of
MySQL is on it - but, it's whatever was standard. I need a version
of php that supports GD so that photos can be uploaded and displayed.
Basically you need to rebuild PHP, replacing your old PHP. On Mac OS
X, there's the easy way, and the hard way:
(1) EASY
see Mark Liyange's package installer, which will install and rebuild
PHP for you using the Mac OS X Installer.
Fortunately for you, he's already included GD support in the package.
(2) HARD
- rebuild PHP manually, using command-line. You'll have to find
yourself instructions on how to to build PHP with GD support-- I
believe they are somewhere on developer.apple.com or Apple's support
site -- it requires you to get intimate with the PHP rebuilding
process in Terminal, may or may not be intimidating and/or worth-it.
