Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I'm trying to get a handle on how to combine my command sequences into workable scripts. This IM guide http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/ has so far been helpful, but some of it is a bit beyond me. I really have no scripting/programming experience and need to find some more elementary instruction. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm working on windows... I will have to write for a scripting language, though I'm not sure yet if it will be perl, PHP, etc.

I use php and there are some examples on my site. I have a localhost setup on my PC and use php instead of batch scripts as there are more options.
