Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

ImageMagick is a program set (command line and API) for batch processing images. Any web use will be from other programs, such as PHP via the PHP API.

You need to decide what method your web handles page ganeration, then try to interface that method to IM. IM is not directly usable from the web, though their are lots of web applications that already make use of it.

The PHP will either need the ImageMagick PHP API installed, OR make command line calls to imagemagick utilities.

the later however often involves temporary files whihc you may like to avoid.

You can save images in SQL, in the API cheate 'blobs' which are the image file format written to a string. this binary string can then be saved in SQL.

For web upi however you problaly want to save them into disk files.

Other than that it is more a question of IM calls and web programing methodology.
