I had a nice little script for keeping some images, and it'd generate thumbnails of new ones.

Today I rebuilt Apache. I went with the 'default' build (in EasyApache on cPanel), except I threw in Exif, because a customer wanted it.

I don't get thumbnails, however, I also don't get a button to click asking if I want thumbnails. Because it's a fairly new thing, I'm really not that certain whether this is related to my recompilation of Apache/PHP today or not. I don't know if we had GD support previously or not.

The script calls imageconvertruecolor(), which is a part of GD. However, I'm for some reason under the impression this is now a standard part of PHP, ie, I don't have to specially select it. Is this the case, or is GD still something separate that I'll have to rebuild yet Apache for?

By default GD is not build into PHP so you should check it when building apache.

GD is included in the PHP 5 distribution. You still have to configure it when you compile, you just don't have to install it separately anymore.

that is good to hear, I always had trouble setting that up :)
