PHP -GD Support

[alexph]

Hi I am very new to this and am setting up a new evaluation test on localhost. All has gone well till I ran the joomlalms_help, and it is telling me that :
GD image library is not installed

I am told to install the BD2 library but i cannot find it - can someone help please

Thanks

At the http://www.php.net/downloads.php you should download complete PHP zip package (not installer, but zip package). In this package you can find php_gd2.dll extension (i guess that you are using Windows on local computer)

Intrpduction to PHP image functions:

GD library:

Servers on the internet usually have GD1 and/or GD2 installed already (even if only hosting services). To be sure ask your ISP (internet service provider) before you book space on the internet, if you want to go live with JoomlaLMS.
