Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me with my issue-

I am trying to install Imagemagick on my computer with the MagickWand extension so that I can manipulate images using PHP. I am using XAMPP with the Apache web server. Unfortunately, I have tried a vast number of ways to get the MagickWand extension to work but I am not getting anywhere!

I have Windows 7 and PHP Version 5.3.1

The currently installed version of ImageMagick is 6.6.3 which is installed to C:/xampp/ImageMagick-6.6.3-Q16 from http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ (the file being ImageMagick-6.6.3-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe)

I have done the command prompt test from the installation to ensure that it is installed.

In C:\xampp\php\ext I have added php_imagick.dll (from http://www.sk89q.com/downloads/imagick/ ... 626-TS-VC6)
and also php-5.2.4_magickwand_dyn.dll (from http://www.dirk.sh/dirk/magickwand/).

And in C:\xampp\php\php.ini I have added

extension=php_imagick.dll
extension=php-5.2.4_magickwand_dyn.dll

and by default:

extension_dir = "C:\xampp\php\ext"

When I run phpinfo() and the Apache server is running, I get the following information for Imagemagick:

imagick module enabled
imagick module version 2.3.0
imagick classes Imagick, ImagickDraw, ImagickPixel, ImagickPixelIterator
ImageMagick version ImageMagick 6.6.3-0 2010-07-01 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
ImageMagick copyright Copyright (C) 1999-2010 ImageMagick Studio LLC
ImageMagick release date 2010-07-01
ImageMagick Number of supported formats: 214
ImageMagick Supported formats [EDIT: ALL OF THE FORMATS]

from which I assume it is installed, but I have yet to get anything for MagickWand, which apparently you get a section for if you have correctly installed it. This has always been the case even though I have tried a big combination of different Imagemagick versions and MagickWands.dll's.

I am unsure about the use of dynamic and static in their descriptions, and whether I need a certain version, used with the correct MagickWand extension for it to work.

When I try and call an ImageMagick function in php, I just get a message along the lines of function not found (e.g. for NewMagickWand).

I have added
C:\xampp\ImageMagick-6.6.3-Q16;
to CLASS PATH variables in environment variables,

and in C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
I have added SetEnv MAGICK_HOME "C:\xampp\ImageMagick-6.6.3-Q16", which is registered in PHP Variables in phpinfo().

If it helps, in the Apache error log C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log, there are multiple instances of the error:

<b>Warning</b>: PHP Startup: magickwand: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20060613
PHP compiled with module API=20090626
These options need to match
in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />

I'm thinking that the module and PHP being compiled differently might be the issue. How is this resolved?

Do I need to install a module, e.g. .so?

If anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated! Please let me know if you need any more info.

Hi, I apologise I put this in the wrong section (should be in MagickWand for PHP), would it be possible for an admin to move it? ^-^ thanks
