This probably means that GD needs to be enable and installed for PHP. I believe GD is used for images.
 
does that mean the hosting company as to install it?

Might seem like a n00b question because I have a different hosting now and the previous host didnt have no problems with this.

Thanks
 
Yeah. If it's not already installed, you may be out of luck. Most hosts won't install that kind of thing for you.
 
dame! lol i see i see
 
Are you on a shared hosting account? If so then you're probably out of luck. This can be installed on VPS and Dedicated servers if you know what you're doing. But it will not hurt if the administrator enabled it all across the board if this is a shared account. Just get with them and let them know.
 
Its a graphics library to generate dynamic images and work on the images in php generally its used for capcha creations too
 
In short: They are a php library meant to manipulate images (cropping, text on pic and so forth). You'll want to make sure to have GD2 on your server... HTH.
 
gd is a grapics extension for php, if you get error this might mean you dont have it installed
 
It's worth a shot submitting a ticket. I've gotten modules installed for me in the past.
 
you can do all kinds of image manipulation, but if you are asking, then you probably don't know/cant use it.
 
php_info();
and check if those libraries are supported by your server, if the extension is loaded
