To use the php pdo_mysql library, I un-commented the line in php.ini
extension=pdo_mysql
To use the graphics library I likewise un-comment the line
extension=gd
That worked fine on earlier installation of php.
Alas I had to reinstall after recent update and now when I start httpd server it logs an error (None of the graphics functions are recognized, but the pdo_mysql ones do work).
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘gd’ (tried: /usr/lib/php/modules/gd (/usr/lib/php/modules/gd: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so (/usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0
Perhaps this library needs to be added back in to the distribution package
Meanwhile I am hoping someone can help me get hold of it.
Note I did find a libgd on github but building that doesn’t appear to produce a library that works with php.
