I had the same problem at first. I’m using windows 7 as well and xampp 2.5. I have used ImageMagick-6.4.2-7-Q16-windows-dll and php_imagick_dyn-Q16.dll and it works. Probably you use wrong mix of ImageMagick nad ImageMagick for php.

I got it work with full path like Murray, but I need to do pdf thumbnail, so I tried below:
exec(“im_convert \”{C:\xampp\htdocs\_ImageMagick_test\tips.pdf}[0]\” -colorspace RGB -geometry 200 \”C:\xampp\htdocs\_ImageMagick_test01.gif\”");

exec(“im_convert \”{tips.pdf}[0]\” -colorspace RGB -geometry 200 \”001.gif\”");

Anyone can suggest ?

Hello, I am using windows 7, xampp 1.7.3. I have followed all the steps you explained above. I had restarted the machine. While starting the localhost I get the httpd.exe system error as “php5.dll file is missing. ”
And one warning message “Unable to load the dynamic library ..\ext/php_imagick.dll the specified module could not be found” i had tried the 6.3 and newer versions for the imagemagick installer. still the same problem i am getting. please suggest the solution.

All the DLL files compiled for Imagick are 32bit. If you are on the 64 bit systems, you still need to install 32 bit Image Magick.

I was running around in circles and it was your last comment that got it up and running for me. The 64-bit version definitely doesn’t seem to work.

I did have a weird issue though. When I tested to see if it was working the script supplied timed out on me.

Timed out:
$im = new imagick( ‘a.jpg’ );

Worked:
$im = new imagick( ‘C:\path\to\image\a.jpg’ );

I am not sure if you had the same problem or maybe I’ve set some thing up wrong.

Running Windows 7 64-bit, PHP 5.3.4 and Apache 2.2…this works. Just one thing…do not use the 64-bit ImageMagick installation (x64) because it doesn’t seem to work with the .dll for PHP 5.3.4. I had to use the 32-bit version of the installation to get it to work with php_imagick.dll.
