Imagemagick on Windows

vocoder

Trying to install imagemagick for php on windows....found a php_imagemagick.dll file, however when i load it in the extensions directory, php always says it can't load it. i assume this is because it's for the wrong php version (i believe the .dll is for php5)...i'm using php 4.3.4, so i asumme thats the problem there...so i guess my problem is, i need to find a .dll for php4...anyone know where i can get one?

I'm running it but on a Linux server... I had the Windows one too but not here... but you can try this link:

[url]ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-5.5.7-Q8-windows-dll.exe[/url]

that's just the imagemagick program for windows...i'm looking for the php extension

How about this one?

http://php.chregu.tv/php_imagick.dll

yeah, thats the one i tried....php always tells me it can't load it, even though i placed it in the extensions directory and added it to php.ini, so i assume its not for php 4

the one i found on the pear page looks to be for php 5.

That should be the right one... The new one for PHP5 is 56k and the old one is 48k. The new one for PHP5 can be found here: http://kromann.info/php5.php

When I get home I can check on my dev box, I should have the one you need because I am on Win2k with PHP4 and its working there.

Sorry can't be of more help...

hmmm interesting, i'm wondering if there is something else i am missing. I place that file in my extensions directory....and in my php.ini file, add that has an extension....but when i try and run an example script, on my server a window pops up that says it can't load or find that file.

thanks for the help though

I am trying to install imagemagick on WAMP also. Have you figured this out yet?

How does one run image magick from windows/apache/php machine. I installed the binary, and tried using the exec() functions through php and they didn't work for some reason. Does anyone know how to setup image magick on a wamp server.

GD2 is better.

No it isn't. I've benchmarked both GD and image magick and the latter Owned GD.
