I would like to use iMagick with my PHP web page, but I can't find where to download an official PHP extension for Windows compiled with code http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick

I found some links on the web like :

  1. http://valokuva.org/outside-blog-content/imagick-windows-builds/php53/imagick-2.3.0-dev/
  2. http://dev.freshsite.pl/php-extensions/imagick.html

But some PHP extensions are very old and makes Apache crash, others are working.

And how can I trust the DLL code inside?

Is there a trusted web site where I could donwload iMagick PHP extension compiled with VC6 and VC9?

  • just grab from downloads: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows – Igor Popov Nov 15 '12 at 10:35
  • Thanks for your comment, but there is no php extension to download on this page – sdespont Nov 15 '12 at 10:59
  • look at this guide: http://www.elxsy.com/2009/07/installing-imagemagick-on-windows-and-using-with-php-imagick/ – Igor Popov Nov 15 '12 at 11:02
  • Thanks for your link, but once again, the DLL is an old one (2009) and the web site seems to be a blog http://valokuva.org. Still no offical release – sdespont Nov 15 '12 at 21:33

Try to have a look here usually these extensions work quite well.

For production server is better to compile it from source code using PECL, Visual Studio or Windows SDK

  • Thanks for your comment, but it is just a repository managed by an unknown user. Furthermore, there is 0 downloads for almost all files. It doesn't seem to be official rand profesional release – sdespont Nov 15 '12 at 21:36

    Well on live server I wouldn't use Windows (for php), even that I use it as development environment, I don't think it's professional either ;-) – Zdenek Machek Nov 15 '12 at 21:56
  • I agree but I can't choice my customer IT infrastructure :o/ – sdespont Nov 15 '12 at 21:58
  • Ok, I understand, then compile it. – Zdenek Machek Nov 15 '12 at 21:59
  • Yeah, unfortunately, it is the best idea. Update your answer with your comment, perhaps share a "how to " link and I will accept your answer. – sdespont Nov 16 '12 at 07:50

I also spent hours trying to install imagick on windows 7. Only this solution worked https://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.html It tells exact versions that will work with my system. Please note that usually windows are 64 bits but php on xampp has x84
