I've looked high/low/FAQ/ and searched to no avail... so alas I must post.

I'm trying to have my first go at the php API (both imagick & magickWand) & ImageMagik. I can't seem to get either of them installed. This makes me think it's something I'm doing screwy on my end. In both instances of API, I've added the dll's to the ext dir, and added the line in the php.ini and restarted the server. Yet my phpinfo() won't show either.

Is there something else I need to do with either of the API's to get them registered? By the way on this forum page some of the quotes are so minimized I can't read them. I'm assuming that this is intentional because they are outdated quotes?

I've been sent through wild goose chases of links to hunt down dll's. I'v also been to quite a few forums and sites and still haven't found how to get this installed right. First I thought support was gone on here, but I saw some replies from recent dates :)

Thanks so much - I can't wait to play with this!

I was finally able to install imagick. I'm not a unix command line guy just yet, and my current setup doesn't call for it.

What I had the most trouble with is finding the correct pecl extension for my php version. Heres how I installed it.

Thanks, and I look forward to the using the ImageMagick goods!
