Re: Newbie-updates to php?



I installed the entropy version of PHP 4.3.6 a few days ago to update my powerbook (running 10.3), the GD Lib was installed and set-up like this:

 GD				enabled
 GD Version		 bundled (2.0.22 compatible)
 FreeType Support	enabled
 FreeType Linkage	 with freetype
 T1Lib Support		enabled
 GIF Read Support	enabled
 JPG Support		enabled
 PNG Support		enabled
 WBMP Support		enabled
 XBM Support		enabled

this is the link to the installer: http://www2.entropy.ch/download/Entropy-PHP-4.3.6-4.dmg

Hope this helps

Gary

thank you SO much for these helpful suggestions.

I have used the entropy builds of php and mysql to update my laptop (running 10.3 Client) and they are fantastic! Unfortunately, they didn't work when I ran it on the server... but since you seem certain that it works on the Server version of 10.3, I will try it again.

I also tried the command line, compiling and installing. Very interesting and mind expanding - but also not successful. I'm sure there is something I'm overlooking in the process - probably something simple and obvious!

I do have the info.php script available on the web server and it tells me that php 4.3.2 is doing its job, but I don't have GD installed.

I will keep pounding away at it. Thanks for the resources! I appreciate the support

The simplest way to go about this is to run Marc Liyanage's PHP
installer:

<http://www.entropy.ch>

*********************************************************************** *
try this:

create a new page called info.php.  then add this code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

make sure that it is in your ~/Sites directory somwhere.  then,
navigate to it.  it will list everything that is compiled in.  if GD
isn't there, i think Marc Lyniage's (entropy.ch) verison of php has it
pre-compiled.

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.

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/

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.
