harishkumar09 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I want to know how to use the PHP imagick library to do the server side image manipulation like resizing or applying color changes or cropping and things like that. Should I ask my ISP to install the Imagick library ? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/128151-using-the-imagick-library/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ask your ISP? You mean your host? I would suggest getting a local server, so download something like WAMP, then get the Imagick library and test it on your local machine.

So should I ask my host who also provides php as a package (LAMP) to also offer the imagick library and make it available or is it something I need to do myself.

harishkumar09 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Project Fear , I may appear a bit stupid to you , coz I am a newbie to imagick and hosting plans. All these was done automatically hitherto for me by the Host. So do I have to contact the host and get him to install imagick on his servers or is it something I have to do it. I am making a full-fledged commercial website so I want it to work on the server and not on the local machine.

Project Fear means, set up Imagick on your Local Machine so you can test out Imagick and make sure it is what you need on your web hosting plan. If Imagick has everything you need, then e-mail your web hosting about getting it set up.

harishkumar09 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks MasterAce14. I have heard from all the people that imagick is a good software and it can manipulate images in a variety of ways. From resizing to color changes and scaling , it has been said imagick can do it. Since I want to do some advance graphic manipulation , I want to use imagick. So I dont want to go through the process of testing in my computer. So following your advice, let me speak to my host and ask him to include it in the list of addons or whatever you would call a library like imagick. Is there any way to find out if it has been already installed ? Can you give me a script that can do that work for me ?
