[FX.php List] [OFF] FMS9A and PHP GD library

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Kevin,

I "fixed"  this problem by installing the PHP5 package generously put  
together by Mark Liyanage at http://www.entropy.ch/. Alas, he does not  
have a Leopard version out yet, but the version posted works  
beautifully with 10.4.x. I have this running on OS X and OS X Server.

Hope this helps,
Dale
