Unpack, copy php_imagick.dll to your extension_dir, add extension=php_imagick.dll to your php.ini, restart webserver and youre good to go.

thanks,

I copied the DLL into the extension_dir directiry, and modified the php.ini file

but I get the following error:-

[02-Sep-2007 11:04:14] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\extensions\php_imagick.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.

I temprarily tried enabling the load of another dll from the same directory (php_mysql.dll) and this is picked up so I know that apache is seing the directory - I also added php_imagick.dll to system32 directory as well, and the extesion_dir loacation to Path enviroenment variable so I am running out of ideas....

Which version of PHP you're running ?

Mikko,

Sorry to take so long coming back, and I do appreciate your help - theres just so much to do......

PHP Version is 5.2.3

not sure if relevant but PHP was installed under C:/Program files/PHP rather than the default location of C:/PHP

I created c:\php\extensions to place place DLL's to load from

Thanks

Roy

Just to be sure that you have the right version of php_imagick.dll:

What is the size of php_imagick.dll file?

60.0 KB (61,510 bytes) ,


Thanks

pecl-5.2-dev (zip) ---> php_imagick.dll is about 4.0MB.

Are you sure you loaded the correct package?

Exactly the problem - thanks so much.

It is bizare I know I did cut from the ZIP archive and paste to the file location I even got a confirmation warning message to confirm file replacement - I will reproduce the step I took to see if it was me or if there is some underlying mechanism.

to fix I had to delete the incorrerect DLL and then paste in the new file I wonde if this was due to a file locking due to Apache being running.

Anyway thanks again

Roy

Where are you finding that? Every php_imagick.dll file I can find for PHP 5.2.1 is around 60kB.

EDIT: Aw nuts. Never mind. Got it.

Okay, I have the correct PHP extension but am still getting nowhere.

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\WebServer\\PHP\\ext\\php_imagick.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

I've tried this with both ImageMagick-6.3.7-1-Q16-windows-dll.exe and ImageMagick-6.3.7-1-Q16-windows-static.exe.The dll version fails the prescribed post-installation command line tests. The static version works from the command line, but that's not getting me where I want to go.

If the extension works from command line then it should work with apache also. Are you sure you run php5 with your apache?
