image toolkit in LocalHost

Is it possible install "image toolkit" in my localhost? How?

image toolkits are either

image toolkits are either the GD library and/or the imagemagick library. more information on them can be found on their respective sites using google. Provided your local environment is set up properly you can use either one, or both.

without more information on your set up, it would be difficult to guide to to the exact binary you would want for your system.

Thanks for reply I spent

Thanks for reply

I spent more than one day trying install "image toolkits" I read a lot of things but documentation is very poor.

When I publish to my webhost everything is ok but in my localhost no.

Google is blind for this issue.

I installed imagemagick library but nothing happen.

My System is wampserver: Apache 2.0.59, PHP 5.2.0 + PECL,SQLitemanager,MySQL 5.0.27,Phpmyadmin
I use PC with XP professional.

If you can help me I will appreciate a lot.

I download in http://www.boutell.com/gd/
gdwin32

I try read documentation but is very confuse.

I change my php.ini
extension=php_gd2.dll
and
extension_dir = "c:/php/extensions" is in my wampserver

extension_dir = "c:/wamp/php/ext/"

I think is default wamp installation.

So now What I need to do?

Documentation dont say, Faq is very poor, Gd dont have instruction to install

I found a install file in gd-2.0.33 and say something like this
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the ......

What is this? Isnt my language!!! May you translate to me? Serious I didnt understand one word of GD documentation.

Since you are using WAMP it

Since you are using WAMP it may be beneficial to ask these types of questions in the WAMP forums http://www.wampserver.com/phorum/list.php?f=2

WAMP may have GD2 already installed if not, I am sure they can guide you on installing it into their platform.

The commands you see in the documentation are unix commands. you would compile GD2 through the command line. it is not a program you upload and "install" in the sense that there is no install script, it has to be compiled on the server to work properly in the environment its running in.
