Help installing the GD library

[sarbruis]

I've been trying for a couple of hours to get the GD library to work, but haven't had any success at all.

To start, it said that imagecreate() was an undefined function, so I think that means I don't have the GD library installed or whatever you've got to do with it to make it work. So I put all the files (including bdg.dll, which I thought was the GD .dll that I needed) in my system32 folder, because I thought that was where they needed to go. And I took out the ; in the php.ini file (but this is for the php_gd2.dll file, which I'm not sure I have, so I changed gd2 to bdg and changed the extension folder to my system32 folder). It didn't work; it said bdg.dll is an invalid library. AND I'M REALLY CONFUSED.

Thanks for any help. I don't think the GD library is a difficult thing, but I'm new to PHP and have no idea how to do things.

If you download the zip(

http://uk.php.net/get/php-4.3.8-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror)

file of PHP frm php.net, it contains the php_gd2.dll, also if you check php.net for gd it has instructions on installing GD.(
