I'm trying to set up a script that will overlay a transparent png file (always the same one) over a variable, user selected jpg.

I've seen some example open source stuff which looks really promising, but it requires GD which is just stretching my slender understanding of all this a little bit too far!

The server is running Centos5 (which I barely understand either :D) and I've managed to yum install gd. The problem is I think I need to edit my httpd.conf or there's some talk of editing php.ini and/or .htaccess but I don't really want to start messing around in there without being sure I'm not doing damage...

I've reached my limits on this one. :surrender

Can anyone suggest a solution?
It doesn't have to be PHP - it just needs to be browser based and really easy for the user. Ideally the user would go to a url, be prompted for a source image and then be served a watermarked one in either jpg or any format for web display.

Think i'll be better off reading from the Beakchat section :)
 
Once you've installed you probably just need to enable the GD extension in php.ini by removing the semi-colon or hash from the line:

#extension=php_gd2.dll

:blast you beat me to it, i was thinking the same thing, or just changing the protocol of the dynamic link to include the ++$ in hyperbol but merging the outputs as hexidecimal .......... :D :augie ;)
