libgd and php

[Marco Fina]

Hi all,
I have CSWS v1.3, CSWS_PHP v1.2, MYSQL v4.0-18 and ZLIB v1.2-1 running on OpenVMS v7.3-2 and everything is ok. Now I just installed LIBGD v2.0-15 with LIBJPEG v6.2, LIBPNG v1.2-5, FREETYPE v2.1-4 and GDCHART v0.11-4 but I am unable to find the correct exentions for PHP. Is the anyway to have PHP with LIBGD support?

Marco,

AFAIK, the CSWS_PHP v1.2 seems to be built without GD support. I think you can either contact HP about that, or you can try to port PHP yourself.

Greetz,

Hi Kris,
thank you for your answer. To do this I need CSWS_PHP v1.2 source code and documentation...
I found the CSWS_PHP v1.1 source code kit from HP OpenVMS site. v1.2 seems to be not available.

Marco,

CSWS_PHP V1.2 is based on PHP V4.3.2.
At http://www.php.net/downloads.php you can download the source kit for PHP V4.3.8.
You could start from there. But I don't think that it is a trivial job to port that beast. I haven' tried (yet).
Maybe someone at HP can help?

Greetz,

Kris

You have now MySQL V4.1.3 available.

I think you can do what you want with Python.

I need GD support in PHP too. Anyone have any luck in building a 'php_gd.exe' extension yet?

Me too. Can we make this a priority port for the next release of PHP?

If there's enough interest and not enough action, we could escalate this through the HP User Advocacy process, however that could take months just to get a reply.
