SERVER INFO
The GD (Graphics Draw) program is available on most servers. With this program graphics such as banners, and images can be created "on the fly" with PHP code. To be able to use these resources your server MUST have PHP AND the GD library installed. Also you must be permitted to use PHP scripting. Here's information about various servers. If your server is not listed, you may check to see what versions they use and contact me and I will add it to this list. Some C-Panels may have the PHP primer to consult. If not here is one. Primer Just unzip and view. Scroll down to find gd. All resources are based on PHP 5.1.6 GD 2.0.28. Arbor Hosting This host has PHP 5.1.6 and GD 2.0.28 and all subscibers have access.
