I've installed Imagemajick. phpinfo() shows it and GDlib 2.0 installed properly. I have tried multiple tests to get it to work and all have failed. Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong. Below is my current test script. All images and php are in the same dir for testing. Thanks.

Code: Select all

<?
exec("convert file.jpg -resize 100x75 new_file.jpg");

// display original photo
if (file_exists('file.jpg'))
	{
?>
<p>Original Photo:<br /><img src="file.jpg"></p>
<?
	}
else
	{
?>
<p>Original Photo: Not Found</p>
<?
	}

if (file_exists('new_file.jpg'))
	{
?>
<p>Thumbnail:<br /><img src="new_file.jpg"></p>
<?
	}
else
	{
?>
<p>Thumbnail: Unable to Create</p>
<?
	}
?>
"Thumbnail: Unable to Create" is always the result.

Try to specify full system path to files.

Have you attempted to use the secondary parameters of the function and/or the return value?

Alternately, if you're goal is to simply resize, there are many scripts available to allow GD to do it with ease.
