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.
