 <p>Detailed guide for newbies like me. Took a long time to get it to work.</p> <p>I initially followed: <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.installation.php" rel="nofollow">http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.installation.php</a></p> <p>but after installation, PHPInfo under imagick shows number of supported formats = 0 </p> <p>So I followed these steps, clobbered from various sources to get it to work.</p> <ol> <li><p>Click PHPInfo and check:</p> <p>Architecture = x86 or x64</p> <p>Thread Safety = yes or no</p></li> <li><p>Download ImageMagick from:</p> <p><a href="http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/" rel="nofollow">http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/</a></p> <p>In my case I downloaded: ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc11-x86.zip</p> <p>because the Architecture under PHPInfo is x86</p> <p>as for vc11 or vc14</p> <p>search google for "visual c++ 11 runtime" or "visual c++ 14 runtime" and install it</p></li> <li><p>Unzip and copy all dlls from the bin subfolder to the Apache bin directory. It's a bunch of CORE_RL_<em>.dll and IM_MOD_RL_</em>.dll plus a few other dlls.</p> <p>In my case, I installed UwAmp in C:\UwAmp, so:</p> <p>(from zip) bin/*.dll --> C:\UwAmp\bin\apache\bin</p></li> <li><p>Goto:</p> <p><a href="http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick" rel="nofollow">http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick</a></p> <p>as of today, latest is 3.4.1 so I went to: <a href="http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.1/windows" rel="nofollow">http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.1/windows</a></p> <p>My PHP version is: 5.6.18, and Thread Safety is Yes from Step #1, so I downloaded:</p> <p>5.6 Thread Safe (TS) x86</p> <p>and got: php_imagick-3.4.1-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip</p></li> <li><p>Unzip and copy "php_imagick.dll" to the php extension folder:</p> <p>In my case: php_imagick.dll --> C:\UwAmp\bin\php\php-5.6.18\ext</p> <p>Note: this ZIP also contains dlls which other guides says to extract to the extension folder of apache. NO NEED TO DO IT. Step #3 has taken care of it.</p></li> <li><p>Edit "php.ini" and add:</p> <p>extension=php_imagick.dll</p> <p>or (I placed it at the very end):</p> <p>[Imagick]</p> <p>extension=php_imagick.dll</p> <p>For super newbies: click the edit button in the UwAmp UI, "php_uwamp.ini" will open and edit it. It will be copied to the correct php.ini when UwAmp is restarted. I had trouble at first since there are several php*.ini scattered all over.</p></li> <li><p>Restart Apache</p></li> <li><p>Check PHPInfo scroll to section (or find): imagick<br> number of supported formats: 234 (on mine)</p> <p>If there is no "imagick" section or "supported format" is 0, something went wrong.</p></li> </ol> <p>Hope this helps.</p> <p>BTW, the comment to the question by "Gras Double" works, just wish I had found it earlier.</p>
