ImageMagick Brew installation with PHP Module in Mac OS X - php

Question

I have installed ImageMagick using brew install imagemagick. This all worked fine and I can run any ImageMagick command from the Terminal / Command line.
Now when I try to use the ImageMagick classes in PHP, I get an error Class 'Imagick' not found in .... I guess this is because the ImageMagick module is not loaded.
Could anyone help me to get this thing working in PHP? Thanks!
Additional info:
Mac OS X Version: 10.8: Mountain Lion
PHP Version: 5.3.13

Answer 1

I just did this after a lot of experimenting. For now, this seems to be the way to do it for php 5.3:
brew tap josegonzalez/php
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install php53-imagick
No idea who Jose Gonzalez is but apparently we are in his debt....

Answer 2

php72-imagick is now deprecated as imagick is part of php binary itself. Use pecl to install imagick e.g.:
brew install php
brew install imagemagick
brew install pkg-config
pecl install imagick

Answer 3

Your ImageMagick installation is not enough. You also need the Imagick package (possibly called php72-imagick or similar for home brew).
Imagick doesn't do the work itself, it is a native PHP extension for creating and modifying images using the ImageMagick API.
Try to search for the exact name of the package via brew search imagick.

I'm using Yosemite. For me, the solution is a combination of the answer and comment already listed here.
brew install imagemagick
brew install php55-imagick
Edit /etc/php.ini to include imagick
extension=/usr/local/Cellar/php55-imagick/{version of php55-imagick}/imagick.so
Example:
extension = /usr/local/Cellar/php55-imagick/3.1.2_1/imagick.so

Answer 5

I had the same issue. These are the steps that worked for me if you are using php 5.6
brew install php56-imagick
brew install imagemagick
find /usr/local/Cellar -name "imagick.so"
copy the path from the output of this command into your php.ini file
e.g. extension=/usr/local/Cellar/php56-imagick/3.3.0_2/imagick.so
save your file. Now to double check that the imagemagick class exists type
php -r "print(class_exists('imagick'));"
Brew symlinking wasn't working for me so I had to put the full pathname into the php.ini file to get it to work.
Hope this helps

Answer 6

this one worked for me:
brew install imagemagick # If it's not already installed
mkdir /usr/local/lib/php/pecl # On my system this dir didn't exist and this caused pecl install to fail
pecl install imagick

Answer 7

Try:
brew install homebrew/php/php53-imagick

Answer 8

I've looking for correct way to install imagick on Mojavie and found solution that fully worked.
brew install imagemagick#6
brew install php#7.1
Install headers (Xcode-select --install)
Download imagick source code from: https://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
Open terminal and enter unzipped folder imagick-3.4.3/imagick-3.4.3 (in my case)
Run command phpize
./configure
make
And now if error occurs like MagicWand not found, edit file Makefile and look for CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/include/. Inspect if in include folder there is no other folder. In my case it should be like this:
CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/local/opt/imagemagick#6/include/ImageMagick-6
save and return to terminal and type make (after finished)
sudo make install
imagick.so is located in imagick-3.4.3/imagick-3.4.3/modules

Answer 9

Ok after 1 hour at this I have figured it out. The mac is not giving the pecl script permissions to make a PHP directory. To resolve do as follows.
brew install imagemagick
Sudo pecl install imagick .
php --ini | grep "Loaded Configuration File"
Add extension=imagick.so under extensions.
The install will be complete. Then, to test run:
php -r "print(class_exists('imagick'));"

Answer 10

From: php error: Class 'Imagick' not found
Did you add extension=imagick.so to your php.ini (or /etc/php.d/imagick.ini) file?

Answer 11

I had the same error having already installed imagemagick and php71-imagick.
brew upgrade imagemagick - did the trick for me.
You may need sudo:
sudo brew upgrade imagemagick
You may need to restart apache / php-fpm / <other webserver>.

I was getting a missing php.h file, so as per Installing xdebug on MacOs Mojave - 'php.h' file not found I installed the necessary file via the below command:
sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /
