How can I install the GD library, ImageMagick or NetPDM on a Windows XP?

[diegorodriguez]

I have read that in order to make thumbnails and reduced size images I need PHP compiled with the support for the GD library (http://www.boutell.com/gd) or the ImageMagick "convert" utility (http://www.imagemagick.org) or NetPBM (http://netpbm.sourceforge.net), but...

How do I do that on a Windowx XP machine server I have at home? what do I do? What is your recommended installation?

I already have phpBB running on it.

Many thanks!

if you already running phpBB then i assume you already have setted up an local server, right?
the only thing you have to do is to enable in php.ini the gd libary,
and restart the server.

Is that all? don't I have to install anything, just uncomment a line somewhere in a php ini file? Where?

I use the latest stable Apache web server.

t hink it's this line:
extension=php_gd2.dll
uncomment it, restart server.

you can find this line in your php.ini.
