WampServer

Hello all,

Can somebody give me some pointers as to how install the imagemagick php extension on wamp? I'm new to php and I'm having an hard time finding my way around it. Don't need a full description if that bothers you. Just some pointers so that I can work my way around from there.

TIA

Hi,

You should install the Q16 version or the 16-bits=per-pixel component ImageMagic-6.4.0-3-Q16-windows-dll.exe. Follow the instructions at [www.imagemagick.org] to verify your installation.

Your PHP application would have its own settings, for example MediaWiki uses the following settings in its configuration file LocalSettings.php:

$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "C:/Program File/ImageMagick-6.3.8-Q16/convert.exe";

Thanks toivo, but don't I need too install also the php extension? I'm interested in using it for my own purposes. These are the steps I tried so far.

- I've downloaded and installed ImageMagick's ImageMagick-6.4.0-1-Q16-windows-dll.exe

- I've downloaded the php extension frpm the winpecl area. I've chosen the php-5.2.1 one.

- I've moved this dll extension to C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\ext\

- I've altered php.ini and added "extension=php_imagick.dll", without the quotes, to the extensions lists.

- I restarted Apache. Not noticing the extension displayed on the PHP extensions list from the tray icon, I restarted the wampserver. ImageMagick extensions now shows enabled on the list.

However, it's not loaded. PHP error log shows:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.5/ext/php_imagick.dll' - The specified module could not be found.

Nevermind. I don't need imagick or magicwand php extensions. As you tried to tell me, all I need is imagemagick installed. A common practice in PHP (and one supported by my webhost) is to use exec. to run convert.

Thanks again.
