ImageMagic setup guide please...
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 4:05 pm
Hi I'm trying to setup ImageMagic on Win Apache to work with PHP 5.3. I've looked up the of. manual and help pages but they seem to be irrelevant to the current situation. So, after I download the latest PHP extension for ImageMagic and try to use it with my current ImageMagic version it fails and says that versions aren't matched.
I can build ImageMagic from sources if that's required, but I have no idea where / how to get PHP extension sources and how to build that. And, really, if possible I would like to avoid compiling those two and rather use stable builds released by their devs.
I would be grateful if someone could point me to the installation instruction / setup guide that is up to date and links to the proper builds of both libraries / programs.
Additionally, if someone could tell me what are the cons and pros of using ImageMagic vs GD I'd be very happy. And if the difference isn't crucial, then, I would be happy to stay with GD as it is much simpler.
Thanks.
