Does the GD2 extension come with PHP?

Question

Does the GD2 extension come with PHP by default? If yes, since what version does it happen? Is it enabled by default?

thanks (:

hmm, i don't think so...the manual suggests that GD(one) does not come with php until version 4.3. unfortunately it doesn't give me any clue about GD2. — Hugo Mota, May 09 '11 at 13:07

GD isn't compiled with PHP by default but is included with many binary distributions of PHP.

Full details/instructions are here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/image.setup.php

On windows system, it is generally delivered but not installed. You can enable it by decommenting the section in the php.ini file.

On Linux systems (Debian & Ubuntu), on a default installation, it is activated. Rather than doing it in command line as suggests : Atticus, give it a try with a php info!

<?php 
    phpinfo();
?>

If GD is installed, you'll see it on that page. ;)

also you can do "php -i" this command in terminal to see your phpinfo. – coolcool1994 Aug 10 '13 at 16:51
Or even better: `php -i|grep GD`. This will show you only the `GD` related info. – Ale Jul 25 '18 at 10:00

you can install php5-gd with the following command. If it doesn't exist, it will download. If it exists, it will not download again. "sudo yum install php5-gd" – coolcool1994 Aug 10 '13 at 16:52
