Anyone have experience with image magick?
I am trying to write an application that can dynamically resize images (jpg, gif, bmp, tiff, photocd etc...)
I have installed image magick on my box however I cannot find any functions out there
I used to use the image magick application under solaris a couple years back... but not in PHP :-)
I would recommend that you use the GD library (although I don't think GIF is supported any more).
As far as finding image magick binaries, look in the docs for image magick. There are command line programs which let you do conversions (and resize) using either arguments or a script file. Then call these commands using either system() or exec().

Here's a good function to use w/ GD:

You'll probably find tutorials on GD in this site. if not, please post and I can help you tomorrow to write a sample script to get you started.
good luck! -sridhar
mogrify -resize mogriffy -geometry
are two useful scripts of IM that can be used with php
