No graphic PHP library installed

I have been trying to get this info on the forum by doing several searches but I was not successful. I apologize if this question has already been answered. My web host is weird. They host my website on a win2000 server and they have PHP + MySQL but they don\'t want to install any php graphic library and don\'t allow me to do so. BUT they are cheap (~30$/year) and they give UNLIMITED space, so changing host is NOT a solution. My question is: if I provide for each picture a large version and a thumbnail version is it possible to use any existing gallery plugin and make it working? I really hope there is a way. Thanks! FG

That sounds very cheap. I see that youhave 4images on your website (by the way gorgeous girls you have there!!!) therefore I assume that your host has the library already installed, is that so?

Yes, i do have 4images and it is using ImageMagick which is installed on the server. I also have Gallery setup here, again using ImageMagick. Generally it gets installed to /usr/X11R6/bin/, and for GL, just specify
Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['path_to_mogrify'] =  '/usr/X11R6/bin/mogrify';
