Hello,

I have several sites hosted on lunarpages servers. I saw some talk about ImageMagick a server-side application for image manipulation i.e.(drop-shadows,crops etc.).
Is this application worth learning about as it is available on lunarpages servers?
if so how do i implement it using php?

any ideas?

-Laurence

If you want a good image handling library, ImageMagick is certainly one of the more common options. I've only used it a couple times so learning on-the-fly has worked fine for me.

As an extension there's some stuff you can learn; as a binary you use a function like exec() to run one of the programs.
