Question

I have a problem with this module.

In my local server i open my php.ini and i have the module imagick in the list.
Now i changed the site to a webserver, but in php.ini, the module is not showed.

I talked with the company that have the web server, and the answer is: “the module is installed and show me this:”

root@dime38 [~]# convert
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.8 08/25/10 Q16 file:/usr/share/ImageMagick-6.2.8/doc/index.html 

but when i use this code:

 <?php

    $image = new Imagick();
    $image->newImage(100, 100, new ImagickPixel('red'));
    $image->setImageFormat('png');

    header('Content-type: image/png');
    echo $image;

    ?>

i simple receive this:

Fatal error: Class 'Imagick' not found in /home/empreg0l/public_html/modulo.php on line 3

But the same code works in my local host.
What is the problem? (Probably, the extension is commented in the php.ini? or exists any problem in the code?)

thanks

There is a difference between the ImageMagick binary (which can be called through the convert command) and the IMagick PHP extension. Even if the binary is installed, it doesn’t mean the PHP extension is.

Your provider would have to explicitly activate that in their server’s PHP.

If they won’t do that, you’ll have to recreate the IMagick commands as command line options and call it through exec().
