Arite. Im currently on shared hosting, so I cant install things on the server myself.
The server has Imagemagick installed.
I want to use Imagemagick from some of my php based pages.
Im pretty sure I need Magickwand installed to do that (ive never used imagemagick before) But.. I cant install it. And they wont install it because its beta software. The host says:
"The only way I can think of that you could use imagemagick in php is to use the exec() command."
Ive read about the exec() command in the manual, but I dont really understand how to make it work. Do I upload the Magickwand files to my ftp and I can run the program from in there somehow with exec() ? If so, how do I start it so I can use ImageMagick commands in my php script? And where on the FTP do I place it? Does it matter? Any help would be appriciated! Im somewhat lost...
