I've got the same problems (OS = WinXP) trying to load the curl and sockets modules. Apache reports the PHP API compile date of 20010901(!) but the modules as 20020429. 

Also, where are the missing modules (imap, ldap, etc)?

Missing modules -> assigning to Edin

I can confirm that php_gd2.dll seem not to be functional. But problems reported by phpbugs@ski-info-online.com are probably due to misconfiguration on his part. Plus php_imap.dll, php_ldap.dll are both included in the zip file.

Could you please try php_gd2.dll that I just uploaded to http://ftp.proventum.net/pub/php/win32/php_gd2.zip

Hi,

Apologies regarding the missing dll's. That was my blindness (looking in my 4.2.0 folder). I've now removed all previous installations (even though the php.ini and httpd.conf were pointing to the correct locations). 

However, I cannot get the curl, imap, or ldap  modules to load from my extensions folder (d:\php-4.2.1-Win32\extensions). I keep getting the message I posted in my previous post.

Thanks

Are you sure you have copied php4ts.dll and dlls\*.dll to your windows system folder. 

I tried http://ftp.proventum.net/pub/php/win32/php_gd2.zip

It works fine, but I have problems with ImageTtfText(). It says me : " Warning: Could not find/open font in ... on line ... " !

You need to set the path to you fonts dir. Here is a fully working example:

<?php
putenv('GDFONTPATH=c:\winnt\fonts');
header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreate (400, 30);
$black = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagettftext ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, 'arial', "Testing...Omega: &#937;");
imagejpeg ($im);
imagedestroy ($im);
?>

I know I need to set the path to the fonts dir. However, this is a nuisance. Plus, it IS a bug that font isn't read correctly (or at all) from the directory specified. What about when I'll be uploading my site to some server on the web? I'd have to contact the host to ask them where they have fonts installed? That's a bit awkward, no?
