mirzahat Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hello, I just got a project in php that has to do with ImageMagick. The client gave me only the path: /someDir/someDir/someDir/ImageMagick So, how do I use this now in PHP? I tried: exec("/someDir/someDir/someDir/ImageMagick convert test.jpg test.gif"); but it did not work. So, what is wrong, I just want to convert from one image format to another.

trq Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 There is also an experimental imagemagick extension. As for the path your client gave you, whats in the ImageMagick directory? There is no such binary as ImageMagick, rather it provides lots of smaller binaries. ie; exec("/someDir/someDir/someDir/ImageMagick/convert test.jpg test.gif"); may actually be what your looking for.
