WampServer

Hi,

I've been trying for hours to add/install the Imagick module to PHP in Wampserver v3.3.1, PHP v8.1.23, but no luck. PHP keeps reporting that the Imagick class can't be found. I do see the module in the list of installed extensions and also when I run the php -i from the command line.

But no such luck when requesting the phpinfo through a phpinfo.php file. I did check the loaded php.ini file ( C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.51\bin\php.ini) mentioned in the phpinfo, and the extention=imagick is in that file.

All the DLL's from imagick are copied to the bin directory of the PHP v8.1.23 install.

Anybody hints how I can solve this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Marc

Ok. I think I've solved my own problem. I removed the Imagick dll's from the PHP bin directory and moved them all to a separate directory. I added that directory to the PATH system variable.

The only thing I can think of is that Apache is starting PHP from a different directory and that the DLL's in the PHP bin directory can't be found.

That's it. Case closed.

Hi,

All we had to do, as always in similar cases, was apply the old adage:
RTFM
in other words, read the imagick installation procedure!

And, in principle, you should read the procedures before doing anything, but... who cares about principles these days, except old fuddy-duddies like me!
