PHP Version 5.4.4-14+deb7u9 for OS6

Would I be correct in saying that the version of PHP5 that can be downloaded and installed from available apps on OS6 is a "cut-down" version?

I have a complex script that won't run using this version, but would run under PHP Version 5.3.20-0rnx1 on my old ReadyNAS Duo v1. I have a much more simple script that does run fine on both versions.

For example the gd library seems to be missing from PHP 5.4.4 on OS6

  • OK, I've done a bit of reading and tried to instal the php5-gd module by using:

    apt-get install php5-gd

    It went through the install but php.info still says the module isn't installed. I believe I may have to configure it but I have no idea how to. Can anyone help?
  • OK, after chatting to a linux guru at a bbq today I've sorted it. Just did an apt-get remove php5-gd to undo what I did above and then...

    apt-get -d install php5-gd

    ...to download the .deb file which I then moved to a share on the NAS and installed manually. Script now runs fine. Still confused why the PHP5 app didn't include the gd module, though.
