GD Graphics Library Installation

GD Graphics Library Installation Question

[kwirl]

I was not sure which forum to use, so I chose this one because it felt appropriate!

I am reworking a site, and need to install the GD graphics library. Easy enough, but the documentation seems to blow and I can't find a Forum there. I'm using windows XP and FileZilla as my FTP method of uploading files. I have root access to the server but remember, I'm using windows via ftp to access the server. Does anyone know the generics for installing this way?

I can figure out the specifics, but just an overview of where I should start would be great, my mind seems to not be wrapping around this today.

[php.net...]

The GD library is usually included with the php source code and compiled into php. If not installed on your server, you'll have to do a re-compile of php on the server.

To check, upload a test.php file with this content: <?php phpinfo();?> and use your browser to access this file on the server.
