There don't seem to be any concise tutorials/walk throughs for installing ImageMagick on WAMP for use with PHP.
I've tried dozens of combinations of their binary releases with different php extension dll files. I can get imagemagick working fine from the command line, and I can get it to show as ticked in the WAMP extensions, but can't actually use it.
Has anyone come across a good guide for installing this ball ache piece of software?
I've followed http://www.knowledge-transfers.com/it/installing-imagemagick-on-windows-setup-imagick-on-php with no luck...
Update: this is what happens when I follow the steps in PHP farmer's answer on windows7. My php.ini is setup as follows:
extension_dir = "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/ext/"
extension=php_imagick.dll
I reboot and get these two errors in this order
and here is the dll file where it should be:
I know this is old post but I spend my all day to make it work, so here are the steps that helped me:
Download ImageMagick Binary Release - http://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php
Install in C:\imagemagick, on last step check "Add application directory to your system path"
Download Imagick DLL: PHP5.6.x version from http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/ (I have 5.6+ version installed on my localhost
Copy php_imagick.dll to C:\wamp\bin\php\ext
Download PHP 5.6 Thread Safe (TS) x86 version from http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.1.2/windows
Copy CORE_RL_* files to C:\wamp\bin\apache\bin\
Edit php.ini file in C:\wamp\bin\apache\bin\php.ini, add extension=php_imagick.dll line in extensions section
Copy all files from C:\imagemagick\modules\coders and C:\imagemagick\modules\filters to C:\imagemagick to load ImageMagick supported formats
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables -> New System Variable -> MAGICK_HOME = C:\imagemagick
Restart Wamp server and check phpinfo() for imagick plugin
If last step does not work, restart Windows
I have improved fsasvari answer to cater general scenarios and versions. All credits to him.
Install Imagick in WAMP
Open your phpinfo() page
Check the below
PHP version (mine : 5.5.12)
Compiler (mine : MSVC11 (Visual C++ 2012) )
Architecture : (mine : x64)
Thread Safety : enabled
Loaded Configuration File (mine : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini)
extension_dir : (mine : c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/)
Apache Bin (Not in phpinfo() page) : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\
Get the latest release match to your architecture from here (for me it was ImageMagick-x86_64-pc-windows.exe).
Copy all files from C:\imagemagick\modules\coders and C:\imagemagick\modules\filters to C:\imagemagick to load ImageMagick supported formats
Install in C:\imagemagick, on last step check "Add application directory to your system path"
Download the PECL matching to your architecture
http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.1.2/windows
(for me : 5.5 Thread Safe (TS) x64)
Extract it and copy all the CORE_RL_* files to apache bin folder (mine : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin)
Copy php_imagick.* files to extension dir (mine : c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/ext/)
Edit php.ini file (mine : C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini)
add extension=php_imagick.dll line in extensions section
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables -> New System Variable -> MAGICK_HOME = C:\imagemagick
Restart Wamp server and check phpinfo() for imagick plugin
If last step does not work, restart Windows (Specially if you have previously installed imagemagick in different folder/version)
For WAMPSERVER 3.1.9 64bit, PHP Version: 7.3.5
I had a lot of trouble with this as well and some things I did wrong was that I doubted ImageMagick would load on my new php version. But you have to believe it will work and don't try with older php versions :)
So this was my approach, remember to follow it with your own settings and versions/folders.
Before you start, make sure you running the php version you want to run. If you installed Wampserver 3, you may click the wamp icon and go to php version and activate the one you want to run.
1
Get latest ImageMagick version for your system here: http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/packages/ImageMagick/binaries/
(I got the ImageMagick-x86_64-pc-windows.exe in the bottom)
2
Install ImageMagick in C:/imagemagick (I put it in lower cases),
You will be asked for some stuff during install, just make sure the path thingy is ticked.
You should also tick the convert thingy if it allows you.
Then after install you can run CMD and type convert -version to see if imagick is installed.
3
Run <?php phpinfo(); ?> And find out these settings:
PHP Version: 7.3.5
System: Windows
Compiler: MSVC15 (Visual C++ 2017) ([VC15])
Architecture: x64 (or maybe you have x86)
Thread Safety: enabled ([TS] else [NTS])
You probably have other settings, but you need to remember yours to download the proper php_imagick.dll
4
Get the php_imagick.dll you want for your php version from here: http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
I got mine from here: http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.4/windows for php 7.3
Remember your info from the phpinfo(), it has to match, else it won't work.
5
After you unzip it, copy the php_imagick.dll and paste it in C:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.3.5/ext/
Then copy all the other .dll files from that folder into C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.39/bin/
Yes it's dirty but you will get it working like this.
6
Add extension=php_imagick.dll in C:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.3.5/phpForApache.ini
I added it after the other extensions in the file.
7
Restart all Wamp services.
If you been messing around earlier with installs, you might have to restart the computer due to some weird cache stuff.
8
Check phpinfo() again if imagick shows up and try something like $im = new Imagick();
9
Click the Wamp icon -> php -> extensions, php_imagick should be listed.
Good luck! :)
PHP 5.4 php_imagick.dll is here: http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/ .
I read somewhere that 64bit php doesnt work with php_imagick. That might be the case when you get this error in apache_error.log
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext/php_imagick.dll' -
%1 is not a valid Win32 application.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
As mentioned above, it was also necessary to add this into httpd.conf (also, i read you cant have spaces/dashes/dots):
SetEnv MAGICK_HOME C:/imagemagick"
If you dont, you might get this error:
"PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext/php_imagick.dll' -
The specified procedure could not be found. in Unknown on line 0"
In the end, this article might partially help: http://www.elxsy.com/2009/07/installing-imagemagick-on-windows-and-using-with-php-imagick/
This was a headache for me as well, but unfortunately I installed this quite awhile ago. The instructions from that link you posted seem accurate. Have you ran phpinfo(); to see if it is installed in the Apache Environment? It should be listed as MAGICK_HOME.
Make sure "SetEnv MAGICK_HOME C:/imagemagick" is set at the end of your httpd.conf file. Assuming imagemagick is installed in that directory.
Be sure that you have the extension "php_imagick.dll" in your php.ini file as well.
It should work just fine if you have all those set.
On another note, here is a nice little library someone built to make imagick easier to use. https://github.com/francodacosta/phmagick
I hope that helps! Good luck!
I've never used WAMP but I have found that sometimes installing PHP extensions on Windows I need to ensure that any dll's that the extension relies on is in the Windows system PATH. If there is more than the one dll packaged with the imagemagick extension, try adding the directory that the dll's reside in to the Windows system PATH then REBOOT (to ensure that the web server gets a copy of the NEW environment).
I know this is an old question but i guess this will help someone someday out there....
If you are on WAMPP and have PHP 5.4.x installed , go here http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/
and download appropriate files as instructed. It will work.
Please see this answer already on StackOverflow:
Installing ImageMagick extension with php/windows
I answered this question some time ago. This solves the DLL mismatch error.

I've been browsing net few days, however I haven't find the solution to my problem yet. So here I am, asking my first stackoverflow question ever:
I need to install imagick to my UwAmp local server.
My current imagemagick version: ImageMagick-6.8.9-1-vc9-x86
I have Windows 7 x64, but neither x64 version of ImageMagick made my local server run the imagick. In command line, ImageMagick is working OK.
My PHP version: 5.4.31
The extension is listed in UwAmp list of extensions, but when i run PHPinfo there isn't a single word about imagick. My Apache error log doesn't print any error associated with loading problems.
When I run the test file, it prints out: Fatal error: Class 'imagick' not found.
I have tried bunch php_imagick.dll files for various versions of PHP, for x64 wamp server, for x86 one etc. The solutions I have found doesn't solve it. Neither do the step-by-step tutorials.
Have you experienced this problem so far? What php_imagick.dll file would you recommend me to try?
Thank you for you help, Michael
EDIT: my UwAmp version is 32 bit
Detailed guide for newbies like me.
Took a long time to get it to work.
I initially followed:
http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.installation.php
but after installation, PHPInfo under imagick shows
number of supported formats = 0
So I followed these steps, clobbered from various sources
to get it to work.
Click PHPInfo and check:
Architecture = x86 or x64
Thread Safety = yes or no
Download ImageMagick from:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/
In my case I downloaded: ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc11-x86.zip
because the Architecture under PHPInfo is x86
as for vc11 or vc14
search google for "visual c++ 11 runtime" or
"visual c++ 14 runtime" and install it
Unzip and copy all dlls from the bin subfolder to the
Apache bin directory. It's a bunch of CORE_RL_.dll
and IM_MOD_RL_.dll plus a few other dlls.
In my case, I installed UwAmp in C:\UwAmp, so:
(from zip) bin/*.dll --> C:\UwAmp\bin\apache\bin
Goto:
http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick
as of today, latest is 3.4.1 so I went to:
http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.1/windows
My PHP version is: 5.6.18, and Thread Safety is Yes from
Step #1, so I downloaded:
5.6 Thread Safe (TS) x86
and got: php_imagick-3.4.1-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip
Unzip and copy "php_imagick.dll" to the php extension folder:
In my case:
php_imagick.dll --> C:\UwAmp\bin\php\php-5.6.18\ext
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.
Edit "php.ini" and add:
extension=php_imagick.dll
or (I placed it at the very end):
[Imagick]
extension=php_imagick.dll
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.
Restart Apache
Check PHPInfo
scroll to section (or find): imagick
number of supported formats: 234 (on mine)
If there is no "imagick" section or "supported format" is 0,
something went wrong.
Hope this helps.
BTW, the comment to the question by "Gras Double" works,
just wish I had found it earlier.
I am trying to use iMagick in Symfony2.
I am using PHP 5.4.16 and all i have done :
1-Copy php_imagick_nts.dll from php5-4 directory from the extracted http://valokuva.org/~mikko/imagick-php54-php53.tgz to php/ext .
2-Rename it to php_imagick.dll and add the “extension=php_imagick.dll” to php.ini
3-Create a page like this :
<?php
$a = new Imagick();
?>
but i receive this :
Fatal error: Class ‘Imagick’ not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\info.php
When I tried to use this in a symfony controller, the error occur again:
FatalErrorException: Error: Class 'Imagick' not found
Unfortunately the details about imagick extension not appear in output of "phpinfo()"
Is this version is incompatible with PHP 5.4.16 ?! If yes,what version i must use? Where? Thank for any help...
After trying many solutions, none seemed to work.
I managed to install it on Windows 10 64-bit, Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.6, but I think it should work for all versions.
Hopefully you will have no problem installing Imagick for PHP.
Step 1) Gather information
First of all you should gather some information of your PHP environment.
You can easily see your PHP information with the function phpinfo()
The information you need:
Architecture: x86(32-bit) or x64(64-bit)
PHP-version: you can find this in the header of the phpinfo() output.
PHP Extension Build: This string contains 2 important parts:
NTS or TS
VCx (like VC11)
Loaded Configuration File: the path to your used php.ini file.
Step 2) Download Binary
You can download the binary from the official site of ImageMagick. I recommend you to read the small introduction under the "Windows Binary Release" to be certain which "bits-per-pixel" to choose from(8 or 16).
Downloading the latest version should be just fine.
Make sure this binary is the same architecture as your PHP architecture that you have gathered in step 1.
Step 3) Install Binary
Install the binary to your phpx.x.xx\bin file. For example: C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.16\bin. (This can be any folder, but for the convenience I put in here)
Make sure "Add application directory to your system path" is checked. Should be checked by default though.
Step 4) Download PHP extension
The DLL PHP extension is available through the windows pecl php site
Again, you can just click the latest version.
Next of, choose the right version based on the gathered information.
For example: php_imagick-3.4.1-5.6-nts-vc11-x64.zip
This can be stripped into components:
php_imagick-3.4.1 - This is the php imagick extension with the version. This is not important.
5.6 - This is your PHP version and should be equal to the PHP-version you are using, which you have determed in step 1.
NTS - This should be equal to the information of your PHP Extension Build that you have gathered in step 1.
VC11 - This should also be equal to the information of your PHP Extension Build that you have gathered in step 1.
x64 - This the architecture of the extension and should be equal to your PHP architecture that you have gathered in step 1.
Step 5) Extract PHP Extension
After you have downloaded the file, you should open the .zip file and look for a file named: php_imagick.dll.
Extract this file to phpx.x.xx\ext.
Make sure the .dll file is fully accessable by you. Sometimes you need to explicity unblock the file.
Step 6) Activate PHP extension
To activate the extension in PHP, you should state in your php.ini file that you want to use this extension.
You have gathered the path to your used php.ini file in step 1.
Add the line extension=php_imagick.dll to your php.ini
Step 7) Restart your PC
Just to make sure, restart your PC so all Environment Paths will be correctly loaded.
This should install Imagick correctly with the latest versions and the right architecture.
Imagick should also be listed in phpinfo() with the appropriate "ImageMagick supported formats" (Just make sure it is not empty).
I spent many hours trying to make Imagick work, finally I got it.
My installation instructions
Install WAMP 32bit (even if you running 64bit system you must use 32bit version of WAMP)
Install ImageMagick to C:/imagemagick, use this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i2mhrhd7sp0ilzk/ImageMagick-6.8.0-3-Q16-windows-dll.exe
Put DLL with Imagick into extension folder of PHP, e.g. D:\wamp32\bin\php\php5.4.16\ext, I used this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ayankf850l08rm2/php_imagick.dll
In php.ini put line "SetEnv MAGICK_HOME C:/imagemagick" without quotes
Better restart PC
I use Wamp 2.4, PHP 5.4.16, Apache 2.4.4, ImageMagick 6.8.0-3 2012-10-24 Q16, Imagick 3.1.0RC2 - all 32bit, OS Win8 64bit
Now it should work and you should see Imagick extension loaded in phpinfo.
I tried a lot of versions of ImageMagick, but newer versions didn't work, 6.8.0-3-Q16-windows-dll works fine.
Symfony2
In Symfony2 use Imagick like this:
$im = new \Imagick('image.jpg');
I'm quite sure this is to do with not having the module loaded correctly or the .dll being placed in a improper location.
You can use PHP's internal function extension_loaded() to check prior to using the class,
<?php
/**
*
**/
if (!extension_loaded('Imagick')) {
//Load some error.
}
?>
That's a method you can check if the module is even being reconsigned by PHP at all.
PHP also provides a function to view your current extensions get_loaded_extensions():
<?php
/**
* Get an Array of current
* PHP extensions for debugging
**/
print_r( get_loaded_extensions() );
?>
Make sure you do:
Check your correct extension library folder location within your phpinfo()
Perform a hard restart of your xmapp/wamp server.
If you're on PHP 5.4 or upwards (Like yourself!), see site below for the updated binaries
After researching too, Imagick does seem to have trouble with PHP 5.3 or upwards; Download new DLL's from this site below (Unofficial):
http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/
Also found other StackOverFlow Articles that have the same problem:
Stackoverflow: Trying to get imagick running on PHP 5.4.3 at Windows x64
Alternatively you're able to use the GD extension to more or less accomplish some of the same functions you require. I do believe GD is a more widely supported module/extension in more recent versions of PHP.
For those using Windows 10 with PHP 7 the following might help:
determine whether your Windows is threadsafe (see the output of phpinfo()) and 32 or 64 bits.
This page contains matching sets for each php version and threadsafe and 32/64 settings. Download both the Imagick and the Imagemagick files.
Follow for Imagick the instructions at the bottom of that page.
For ImageMagick the instructions on that page are not correct. You can put the dll files anywhere but you need to refer to them with the MAGICK_HOME windows environment variable. You may need to reboot for the change of the environment to have effect.
I use :Wamp 2.4, PHP 5.4.16, Apache 2.4.4, ImageMagick 6.8.0-3 2012-10-24 Q16, Imagick 3.1.0RC2 - all 32bit, OS Win7 32bit
Instructions given by fmstoun worked for me perfectly.
Since I spent a lot of hours trying to make the dll work, I wanted to add on to steps given by fmstoun.
Do restart your PC.
Use the full path to the image, for example:
$image = new Imagick($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/test.jpg');
Make sure your system environment has 1 single entry for : C:/imagemagick and no more environment variables for imagemagick. If any previous installations have the path, then remove those paths and restart your PC
Make sure http : / / localhost/ of wamp shows 'imagick' as loaded extension
If extension is loaded properly, it has to show up in phpinfo() also as:
imagick module | enabled
ImageMagick version|ImageMagick 6.8.0-3 2012-10-24 Q16 and some more information about imagemagick.
Considering the date of this post, the latest version of imagemagick provided on the official site is: ImageMagick-6.8.8-1-Q16-x86-dll.exe
which fails to load the extension (as seen in apache error logs after a restart).
Hence use the version mentioned by fmstoun.
Hope this answer saves couple of hours of effort and saves time required to go through around 15 SO questions on same topic and also different forums.
UPDATE for those 2019 also using WAMP, a much more simplier method of ImageMagick are as follows:
Go to https://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.html.
Grab a copy of the .dll extension file of your appropriate setup, choose a "Threads Safe" version.
Grab the corresponding ImageMagick using the link on the same row and install it.
Copy only the .dll file to the extensions folder of your install of WAMP, usually C:\wamp\bin\apache2.4\ext\
Restart apache.
Hope this helps.

I want to use Moodle, but I get an error during the installation process:
php_extension->intl->should be installed and enabled for best results.
Intl extension is used to improve internationalization support, such as locale aware sorting.
When I click on the link, I get the error message above: http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/admin/environment/php_extension/intl
I followed that link, but I still get the same error. If anyone has any ideas, please help me out.
I had the same problem a few days ago.
You have to copy all the files (all files starts with icu*):
icudt.dll
icudt46.dll
icuin.dll
icuin46.dll
icuio.dll
icuio46.dll
icule.dll
icule46.dll
iculx.dll
iculx46.dll
icutest.dll
icutest46.dll
icutu.dll
icutu46.dll
icuuc.dll
icuuc46.dll
From:
<wamp_installation_path>/bin/php/php5.4.3/
To:
<wamp_installation_path>/bin/apache/apache2.2.22/bin/
And you also need to enable intl in php.ini file (uncomment this line):
;extension=php_intl.dll
And restart the server. It should works fine.
Of course, you need to replace the folder names with your own.
Recently, newer versions of PHP 5.5 releases have php_intl.dll also linking (loading) MSVCP110.dll, in addition to the more common MSVCR110.dll (both are C/C++ runtime DLLs that provide common functions).
Before, you could just include file MSVCR110.dll somewhere in a directory of the PATH instead of installing the full set of VC++ 2012 Redistributable DLLs, and Apache + PHP + PHP extensions like php_intl.dll would all load.
If PHP is giving you this error:
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library C:/wamp/php/ext/php_intl.dll – The specified module could not be found.
There are two things you have to do:
Instead of copying the various icu*.dll files from PHP's folder into Apache's bin folder, just include the PHP directory into the system's PATH variable.
Install the full Microsoft VC++ 2012 Runtime Redistributable package. Make sure to get the 32 bit version for 32 bit PHP builds.
See more about this issue here - Unable to load or find PHP extension php_intl.dll
Copy your icu* files to <wamp_installation_path>/bin/apache/apachexxxxx/bin/
This worked for me.
I tried many options (including the ones suggested by Moodle) to no avail; the VC++ redistributable helped me.
Please note that you may have to install x86 version even when you may be having a 64 bit OS.

I have installed download and install ImageMagick-6.8.3-7-Q16-x86-dll.exe from the link http://imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows and I am using Windows 7 and PHP 5.3.8.
When in install this it got installed correctly in my machine and convert commands works perfectly. On my convert config what shows is here:
But on my phpinfo section I get:
ImageMagick supported formats has no value
I got all the image magick values like this https://www.evernote.com/shard/s297/sh/12397c86-d016-4ca4-9415-fd541daeca39/2fc504bf5ddba5693efd3249402b2b5c.
I don't know why it is getting as no value i have installed the same ImageMagick-6.8.3-7-Q16-x86-dll.exe on php 5.3.8 in my 32 bit windows7 machine . The php_imagick.dll i downloded from other website. I don't know what is the issue i am having in install imagemaagick, if it is the issue with php_imagick.dll version can anybody suggest proper php_imagick version for this configuration?
I have spent several days looking for a solution, and I finally found it with Sysinternals procmon.
I found out apache was looking for dll files like IM_MOD_xxxx.dll in folders c:\windows\system and /bin. Copying the files to one of those folders did the trick to me.
Cood luck.
Not all versions of ImageMagick will work with all versions of php_imagick.dll. The Imagick extension v3.4.* in combination with ImageMagick 7.* gave no support for any image format. When I downgraded to ImageMagick 6.9.* the problem was solved.
On an echo of phpinfo you can see which version of ImageMagick is needed. Search for "Imagick using ImageMagick library version" and "Imagick compiled with ImageMagick version" (which should be equal).

I was having issues with PHP 5.6, it recognized the extension but no formats were supported. (http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.1.2/)
Installing latest version of imagemagick(with dynamic libs) and copying DLL files from imagemagickDir/modules/coders/* and imagemagickDir/modules/filters/* to imagemagick root helped, now imagemagick works properly from when calling php.
Don't forget to give IIS access to imagemagick folder.
EDIT:
When IIS successfully recognized formats, I ran into compatibility issues.

http://ftp.icm.edu.pl/packages/ImageMagick/binaries/ImageMagick-6.8.8-9-Q16-x86-dll.exe
Check that
MAGICK_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\modules\coders
is set.
I had the same problem, and tried everything. You do not need - as I thought - ImageMagick installed on your system to run the Imagick module for PHP. You simply need to make sure you include both the CORE_RL_* dlls as well as the IM_MOD_* dlls in the apache/bin directory, and then also the php_imagick.dll in the php/ext directory.
I'm running PHP 7.0.25 x86 via XAMPP on Windows, and these instructions were incredibly simple and helpful:
https://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.html
There are a lot of answers out there, as the landscape for this program and PHP have changed over time.
I am so cutting edge as to be using PHP 7.1 at the moment. At first I was copying DLLs all over the place like all of the instructions have you do. Luckily, all that is necessary is the latest PECL package and the corresponding version of Imagick for your system, which was the tricky part. You can't used the latest Imagick (version 7 at the time of writing this) if you want to use the PHP extension, until the extension is upgraded. You have to install a version of Imagick on your system that matches the PHP extension version.
As others have instructed, download the latest PECL package for imagick for your PHP version. Since I'm using the thread-safe x64 version of PHP 7.1, I want the 3.4.3RC1 package, the only one with a DLL for my version of PHP at this time.
Of these files, I only need to copy over php_imagick.dll. Next, head over to http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/ and download the latest Imagick for your system which is probably going to be the VC14 one at this point, for which it seems just a matter of installing the corresponding C++ Redistributable package on your system for it to work. Simply unzip the files and add the bin to your path. Again, if you have a newer version of Imagick, you'll want to replace it with this one because this is the one that will work with the php extension.
At this point, you should be able to restart apache and confirm that the imagick extension is enabled in the phpinfo. It should show you the version of Imagick for the PHP extension. Again, if the Imagick on your system in your path is a version that matches what is shown for the PHP extension, then you should see the list of supported formats that it is getting from the DLLs from the version 6 Imagick on your system. You will not need to copy them to apache bin or anywhere else, nor make a MAGICK_HOME folder.
Even after installing imagick & imagemagick correctly, if it is not working, please check your Apache Environment PATH Variable. Most probably if the path variable is not showing your ImageMagick inatallation folder, please add that into windows advanced system settings/environment variables/system variables -> PATH.
Restart WAMP server and check to see the phponfo for Apache Environment PATH Variable.
I searched posts and tried various suggestions - for several hours. I did not attain success until I tried the steps here: https://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.html (as posted by Codesmith - and I agree the steps are short, easy-to-follow). My need was to install on WAMP.
The page behind this link tells how to determine the correct version to download of Imagick and ImageMagick. Just extract three sets of files to stated directories, make a change in php.ini, and restart WAMP. My code uses only JPEG and PNG formats, so of the format-based DLLs, I moved only those.
I installed XAMPP , phpinfo: PHP Version 5.3.5
Downloaded PHPPDT, installed
downloaded webserver debug extension, copied dummy.php
added zend_extension="c:\edward\xampp\php\ext\5_3_x_nts_comp\ZendDebugger.dll"
stop, restart apache, get:
"the program cant start because php5.dll is missing from your computer"
(while php5nts.dll is included)
is installing zend studio ce the alternative or can i make it work with XAMPP? (using Zend Studio CE works)
if your php version is Non-Thread-Safe (nts)
you must use php extension with format example: extension=php_cl_dbg_5_2_nts.dll
else if your php version is Thread-Safe (ts)
you must use php extension with format example: extension=php_cl_dbg_5_2_ts.dll
(notice bolded words)
So if get error like above. Firstly, check your PHP version is nts or ts, if is nts.
Then check in php.ini whether has any line like zend_extension_ts="C:\xammp\php\ext\php_dbg.dll-5.2.x" choose right version of php_dbg.dll-5.2.x from it homepage (google for it).
Change from zend_extension_ts to zend_extension_nts.
Hope this help.
Download php5.dll (http://windows.php.net/download/) and copy it to apache/bin folder. That solved it for me (Win 7 64 bit apache 32 bit)
EDIT:
Start with the non-thread safe version.
For Wamp x86+Phalcon users (with same error):
Take care of download the right version of Phalcon:
Phalcon 1.3.2 - Windows x86 for PHP 5.5.0 (VC11)
I had the same problem I switched from wamp to xampp and yes PHP was working because my path was still pointing to my old installation. I had forgotten to change it to point to my new php installation which version of php didn't match the rest at all.
In case this might help someone, after installing the thread safe version of PHP 5.5.1, everything was working under apache for my dev sites, but I ran into the same "php5.dll is missing" problem installing Composer using the Composer-Setup.exe - or, as I soon discovered, just running something as simple as php -v from the command line. I made a copy of php5ts.dll and named it php5.dll and everything worked. I assume the Composer installer was specifically looking for "php5.dll" and I knew that the thread safe code would be run by the renamed .dll. I also assume something is wrong with my setup to screw up the command line functionality, but with everything working, I have more important issues to deal with than to try and find the problem.
I just now faced this issue while trying to restart XAMPP Apache.
What you can do to solve this is:
download PHP5.dll from http://originaldll.com/file/php5.dll/30704.html
Copy the downloaded php5.dll to C:\xampp\php
Start APACHE and MySql from XAMPP control panel
Hope my solution solves your problem.
Thank You!
I needed to change environment variable PATH and PHPRC. Also open new cmd.
I already had PHP installed and added EasyPHP when the problem came up. After I changed both variables to C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC9\binaries\php\php_runningversion it worked fine.
When you open phpinfo()
see if the thread safety is enable or not enable
also see the version of php
and see MSVC-- what is the number in place of --
and see the architecture
these all things help u to get the suitable php driver
here a url help u to get a php driver

What you can do to solve this is:
Download PHP5.dll or PHP7.dll from: http://windows.php.net/download/.
Copy the downloaded php5.dll or php7.dll to C:\xampp\php.
Start Apache and MySQL from XAMPP Control Panel.
