Adding Imagick to xampp

Question

I followed the steps below at http://bytehash.appspot.com/2012/02/Installing-imagick-for-php-in-windows-under-xampp , I downloaded the dll file for imagick and added it to the xampp/php/ext folder xampp/php/ext and included it as follows: extension=php_imagick_ts.dll . I also installed imagemagick and I can confirm that it is installed since I ran the following command:

 C:\>convert -version Version: ImageMagick 6.8.6-8 20 Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2 Features: DPC OpenMP Delegates: bzlib djvu fftw font ngo png ps tiff webp x xml zlib 

when I restart apache via xampp control panel, the following errors appear:

 the procedure entry point php_checkuid_ex could not be located in the dynamic link library php5ts.dll 

and the following error message continues after:

 PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick_ts.dll" - The specified procedure could not be found 

If after this message I try to copy and paste the location of the dynamic link - C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick_ts.dll and paste it into the address bar of the document, try opening the file

Has anyone come up with this error? since I had the same problem when trying to install the msql3 library or just uncomment some of the other extensions in the php.ini file

Any advice would be great. Thanks

Answer 2

The problem seems to be related to environment variables. Try checking if the extension directory exists.

Here are some links that can help you set up your environment variables:

However, if this does not work, try lowering xampp to 1.7.7.

Have you tried these .dlls? http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/

They seem to work for most people.
