PHP is a scripting language which can be used "inline" in HTML documents. The PHP interpreter compiles straight into your Apache httpd. If PHP was compiled with support for the "gd" graphics library (this is optional), it should give you the functionality you're looking for. For more info about PHP: http://www.php.net/ There is a FreeBSD port for apache+php. I don't know if the port compiles in gd support - I've always compiled and installed this sort of thing "manually". (There is also a port for gd.) BTW, if you wish to install the lastest version of PHP - version 3 - then I would recommend you go with Apache 1.3 or later. Alternatively, there is a perl5 module for gd support (also in the ports). Install it, write your CGI applications in Perl, and off you go. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
