Urgent: imagick help please!

eulet20

Hi all!
Stupid stupid stupid thing...

I'd like to compile Imagick from pear.php.net into my php!
I do as follows:
First compile GraficksMagick
then do exactly the same as written on pear.php.net
(phpize in ext/imagick after renaming, ./buildconf in PHP4 folder, configure --with-imagick --with-mysql and so on...)

Well then, configuration works, although make and make install!
Unfortunately, php doesn't recognize the new library and I can't use it!
I try:

<?
  php$handle = imagick_create()
      or die ("Could not create handle");
  print("Connected successfully");
  imagick_free($handle);?>

which leads to:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagick_create() in fileresizing2.php on line 28

Thx for your urgent help

Alternatives....

How about another way to use imagemagick? Just grab the imagemagick source, compile it and use it from a shell script? There are classes on pear to give you this framework. ( http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=76 )

You can also compile-in GD support which is the same sort of image manipulation. The difference is that there are many more "howto compile into httpd" guides for GD than there are for imagemagick.

Thx for answering.. well, I've allready compiled gd into php but I'm not satisfied with the result because I miss a function to sharpen images after resampling!

I'll try your second alternative to use a shellscript (but I think I rather use Graphicsmagic with the exec (gm convert...) at last!

Thx a lot!
