Having a problem finding the php_imagick.dll which I believe I need to make use of this product. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

NogDog

Have you tried the links on the installation page?

Hi NogDog

Thanks for the reply.

Yeh tried both but cannot see anything that points to this file. I have also tried to install the pecl file imagick-2.1.1.tgz but i get an error saying "ERROR: The DSP imagick.dsp does not exist". In the tgz is a file called php_imagick.h which i have renamed to php_imagick.dll and placed in my php/ext folder and added the directive in the php.ini but still cannot get this to work. If this helps i am running windows xp and php 5.2.

Thanks again.

Found this on the ImageMagick site: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows

Once you have ImageMagick installed (the product itself), there is a PHP wrapper for it in the PECL repository: http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick

hi bradgrafelman

thanks for the reply.

I have downloaded two versions and tried to install from cmd using pecl install .. but i get ERROR: The DSP imagick.dsp does not exist. Not sure if i am doing something wrong here?

Thanks

I've also just installed ImageMagick on Windows and am trying to enable the extention without success. Running

pecl install imagick

Results in:

downloading imagick-2.2.0.tgz ...
Starting to download imagick-2.2.0.tgz (76,417 bytes)
.................done: 76,417 bytes

ERROR: The DSP imagick.dsp does not exist.

Isn't php_imagick.dll supposed to be included with PHP (my version is 5.2.5) anyway?

Looks like PECL doesn't help for Windows. As per a user-contributed note in the manual ([man]imagick.setup[/man]):

Windows installation is a bit more tricky since "pecl install imagick" does NOT work properly.

Here's how I installed it:
1/ Install ImageMagick software http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
2/ Download pecl-5.2-dev.zip (choose the version relevant to your PHP) from http://snaps.php.net/
3/ Copy php_imagick.dll from the archive you've downloaded to your PHP extention folder.
4/ Add the following line to php.ini (in the exntentions section):
extension=php_imagick.dll
5/ Restart your server
6/ Try the example script to see all went well

Good luck 🙂

It was easy to get it working on Windows. Install it, make sure the ImageMagick directory is in your windows PATH variable and then in your php.ini file make sure you have this line:

extension=php_magickwand_q16_st.dll

Make sure the q16_st.dll is the correct name for yours. If you do a search in windows for php_magickwand*.dll you'll find the correct dll name to put in there.

That user was me after I've managed to fight through this and now my comments will hopefully assist other developers 🙂

There still is no php_magickwand_*.dll in neither my PHP or ImageMagick folders. I've managed and added my comments in the manual:

Thanks
