I have tried with no luck in creating an interlaced / progressive JPEG image using the Imagick extension. Per the manual I should be able to user bool Imagick::setImageInterlaceScheme ( int $interlace_scheme ) however I haven't had any luck with it.

Here is what I have so far:

$image = new Imagick();
$image->readImage('flower.jpg');
$image->scaleImage(0,1024);
$image->setCompressionQuality(87);

//I do not know what $interlace_scheme settings are,
//and have tried every integer from 0-10 as the interlace_scheme.
$image->setImageInterlaceScheme(0);
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
echo $image;

If anyone knows how to use, please let me know. Thanks

you need to pass something like $im->setImageInterlaceScheme( imagick::INTERLACE_PARTITION );

Thanks for the response.

I just got around to trying this, but with my luck it's not working.
I have tried it in the same order as function calls are above.
Also tried every constant available:

$image->setImageInterlaceScheme( imagick::INTERLACE_UNDEFINED );
$image->setImageInterlaceScheme( imagick::INTERLACE_NO);
$image->setImageInterlaceScheme( imagick::INTERLACE_LINE );
$image->setImageInterlaceScheme( imagick::INTERLACE_PLANE );
$image->setImageInterlaceScheme( imagick::INTERLACE_PARTITION );

At least I don't get any errors (except I'm not catching exceptions).
But unfortunately images are still being displaying top down, rather then progressively loading into the browser.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Assume your the image you are writing is "image.jpg". Instead save it as "pjpeg:image.jpg."

That worked here!

<?php

/* Create a new object and read the image in */
$im = new imagick( "/var/www/testimages/new/im/strawberry.jpg" );

/* Set format and interlace scheme */
$im->setImageFormat( "pjpeg" );
$im->setImageInterlaceScheme( imagick::INTERLACE_LINE );

/* Output */
header( "Content-Type: image/pjpeg" );
echo $im;

?>

Thanks for the posts all.

It seems to be working, but for some reason I'm only getting the image displaying all at once (not loading in stages). I know my browser is capable of progressive images, but I guess I'm just have to keep playing with it.

Read your image into an image editor, Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, etc. and use its image info feature.
