General help

Here is a suggestion using Fink to get GD on 10.1: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/html/osx.html

This page says that GD needs Jaguar: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/

Here is how to use it: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

Of course, after I visit places like this to learn information, I have to ask Martin anyway.

(if you don't have Jaguar and teach k-12, call Apple quickly because their "free Jaguar for teachers" plan is about to run out...or call a friend who teaches k-12).

I'm currently running php 4.2.2 and this url was a life saver: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/

It gives a step by step process of installing and getting php started on the OSX. I downloaded and installed the 4.2.2 following these instructions and it works great. I'm running it on OSX Server v 10.1.4. I also bought a couple of books on the subject, but found web sources more to the point.
