Step 2: download php_imagick.dll from http://www.dlldll.com/php_imagick.dll_download.html

Step 3: install imagemagick(*.*.*)windows-dll.exe

Hi,

I followed your steps, getting no result. Can you please tell me which one will be the installation directory (“Step 3: install imagemagick(*.*.*)windows-dll.exe”)?
I think this can be a matter.

Thanks in advance.

    Did you finished above listed all steps? Check on your system environment variable path contain C:Program FilesImageMagick-6.6.9-Q16; or not. If not then add it here and try again.

Yes, Imagick has been successfully installed. But when trying any Imagick function to the browser it is returning an error “Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”. Please help.

I have Installed the ImageMagick 6.8.6-4 Q8 (32-bit) and I also installed the php_imagick.dll file after i restart the Apache .
I run this code in IDE but i getting the error like …Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

$im = new Imagick();
echo $im;
echo $im->newPseudoImage(1000, 1000, “bluebells_clipped.jpg”);
$im->setImageFormat(“jpg”);
$im->roundCorners(5,8);
$type=$im->getFormat();
header(“Content-type: $type”);
echo $im->getimageblob();
