A while back I explained how to compile the ImageMagick extension for PHP and this past week I got around to creating some example code to make some of the command line examples I have in ImageMagick command line examples part 1 and ImageMagick command line examples part 2.
The first step of course is to make sure the MagickWand extension is installed. You will want to verify that it is listed in a phpinfo() call before trying any of these examples. After verifying that you have the extension installed you might want to read an introduction to using MagickWand before looking at these examples. And of course you will want to know where the MagickWand reference documentation is once you are ready to try more.
For more information on the options used in these examples it is best to look at their corresponding command line example.
Example 1: Simple Annotate
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]
One note on the above is that I needed to specify the exact location of the font to get it to show up. I believe this isn’t always needed but if you try to leave it out and nothing shows up you should try specifying the full path to the font.
Example 2: Complex Annotate
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]
Example 3: Crop an Area
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]
Example 4: Rotate
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]
Example 5: Resize
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]
Example 6: Apply Resharp Filter
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]
Example 7: Compress JPG
[code lang=”php”]
[/code]

I want to add some php magickwand fucntion for sharpening an image. I tried with MagickUnsharpMaskImage but am not able to get proper combinations to be used for the 3 parameters of raduis,amount and threshold. Please anyone suggest me the solution.
I got all excited about the MagickWand for PHP library… then I discovered that it needed to be installed as a PHP extension. My sites are on a shared hosting setup, so I don’t have any way to install additional PHP extensions.
.cry
I guess to do what I want, I’m gonna have to write a C program and use the original MagickWand library with that. Fortunately, I do have SSH access and can compile things on the server.
