Installing with GD 1.x Support?

[Kaz]

I'm a little confused here I guess...


On the Boutell.com site it sais:

php 4.3.x is available, and it includes a version of gd as "standard equipment."

I'm guessing that version is 2.x, that does not support .gif's


We are developing an application where one part of it has users upload images that could be .jpg or .gif and it will thumbnail them.

Should we be using something other than GD1.x?

And how do I get GD 1.x support in to PHP?

I recently switched hosts & lost the support.

I am on a FreeBSD box

I noticed my php was compiled with:


'./configure'
'--enable-versioning'
'--enable-memory-limit'
'--with-layout=GNU'
'--with-zlib-dir=/usr'
'--disable-all' <--- killed GD 2.x base support?
'--with-regex=php'
'--disable-cli'
'--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs'
'--enable-ctype'
'--with-gettext=/usr/local'
'--with-imap=/usr/local'
'--with-imap-ssl=/usr/local'
'--with-mcrypt=/usr/local'
'--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-openssl=/usr'
'--enable-overload'
'--with-pcre-regex=yes'
'--enable-posix'
'--enable-session'
'--enable-tokenizer'
'--enable-xml'
'--with-expat-dir=/usr/local'
'--with-zlib=yes'
'--prefix=/usr/local'
'i386-portbld-freebsd4.8'


Does the base install of php after 4.3.x include support for GD 2.x now & the "disable-all" command took it out?

Is there a simple way on FreeBSD to enable it?
