Re: Using PHP to print using LP on Linux

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hiya,

Mine works with the following;

	extension_dir = "c:/winnt/"

And simply copy the php_gd2.dll file into the folder.

Then restart apache.

PS: This topic is a PHP-WIN topic not DB.

Regards,

Steven
