title: Reproject an Image from Nad83 to Spherical Mercator on a Server
body: <p>My goal is to take radar images from the NOAA website and reproject them to spherical mercator. Ultimately the images will be consumed by an Android app.</p>
  
  <p>The reprojection will be done on a server via a chron job. I have played with Gdal and like it. My issue is that I cannot build it on my server. I have shared hosting on Network Solutions. To my knowledge I do not have terminal/command line access. Ideally I would run php-gdal but am open to other solutions. Can anyone point me in the right direction to install php-gdal via ftp on a shared host running unix?</p>
  
  <p>I am open to other solutions to reproject these images however I do not want to install a WMS(even if I could find out how). I have heard of Open Layers and Proj4js but am not sure how a Java Script solution would work in a server environment. I would be open to exploring some PHP image transformation as I may be able to make some sore of distort/warp/plane-cylinder type of effect work with some modification. ImageMajik would possibly work but once again I am not sure how to install that on my shared host. Currently my host provides GD support in their build- but it is not adequate to my knowledge..</p>
