You need to enable php_gd2.dll. For information on how to do that, ask support on the appropriate mailinglists.

I have done it in disabling php_gd.dll (adding ;) in front of this line and added line php_gd2.dll in php.ini (as I wrote in my bug report). Because I can not compile PHP from source code, I have no idea what else I can do. 

Anyway, I am going to ask someone somewhere for help how to enable php_gd2.dll on Win in binary distribution.

Hm... seems to be a bug after all...
It seems that, for some reason, HAVE_GD_GD2 is not defined in the windows build. Can someone look into this?

Just for the info: I downloaded and installed PHP 4.3.0 dev build (snapshot.log Fri Sep 27 08:00:00 2002 CET Starting snapshot 200209270600) and the problem (no support for handling with GD2 format in php_gd2.dll) in Win binary distribution still exists. I just tried if change was made and no changelog record was made.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Server : Apache 1.32

Here you can download php_gd2.dll:

i want the file php_gd2.dll

Use the Denwer suit which includes the PHP4 compiled with GD and a valid version of php_gd2.dll :
http://dklab.ru/chicken/web/dis/PHP4/

When You get the .exe file, You have 2 possible ways of what to do further:

1. If You don't have a webserver software installed -- launch it (it is a self-extratable zip archive bundled with Perl-written install script for Windows) and it will install the complete Denwer suite which contains Apache/Win, PHP4, Perl, MySQL, ans so on. The whole thing is very well configured and in most cases it self-installs without any problem. The only problem You may probably get -- the included docs are in russian.

2. If You already have a webserver software installed (which was my case) You may extract the archive using the 7-zip extractor: http://www.7-zip.org/ . Then use the extensions from the usr/local/php/extensions dir. The file php_gd2.dll bundled with Denwer works fine with php 4.3.x (tested with 4.3.9).
