php: Installing imagick extension on WindowsXP
This may seem simple enough to many programmers out there but this threw me for a few days. This is how you install imagick on a windows server. If your site is on a shared host, you need to ask your host to install the extension for you.
For this example I am running php 5.2.4 on Abyss/Apache web server
Download the matching pecl5 Binary from php.net. In this case its pecl5.2-win32-200710121230.zip (matching my current php version).
Unpack the file.
Copy the php_imagick.dll into php/ext/ directory
Open your php.ini file and look for the “Dynamic Extensions” area. In there will be a list of items (some commented out). Add the following line to the bottom of the list: extension=php_imagick.dll
Save the changes you made.
Restart your web server.
If these steps were successful imagick will show up on any php page using the phpinfo() function.
