Hi all,
I've searched the PHP manual, Google, and the list archives for an
answer to this and come up empty-handed. Here's my situation:
My hosting provider runs PHP 4.1.2 under Apache on Linux. Here are the
GD configuration options from php.ini:
'--with-gd=/usr/local'
'--enable-gd-native-ttf'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib'
'--with-png-dir=/usr/lib'
'--with-zlib'
GD version is 1.62, and although they attempted to include TTF support
it does not work.
I've compiled my own GD 2.0.1 module with Freetype as a shared gd.so
extension in hopes that I can override the built-in version provided by
my hosting company, but attempting to load it using dl("gd.so") results
in numerous errors:
*Warning*: Function registration failed - duplicate name - imagearc
*Warning*: Function registration failed - duplicate name - imagechar
*Warning*: Function registration failed - duplicate name - imagecharup
etc.
I also tried to use an Apache configuration directive in an .htaccess file:
php_value extension_dir ./
php_value extension gd.so
Although this causes no errors, the 'extention=gd.so' directive seems to
be ignored.
Is there anyway to override or unload my ISP's GD extension so that I
can use my own, or am I stuck with GD 1.62 without Freetype support?
Thanks for any tips/insight!
Cheers,
-Andy
