Converting a image with image magick?

[shanee86]

Hello I been trying to mod my image host script for awhile. Anyway my server has image magic installed and I found out you can run this convert imagefilename.jpg -resize 300x300 newimagefilename.jpg in ssh and i resizes the image like I want. But what I am wondering is how to do this exact same thing in php?

There is a PHP API for ImageMagic, it's called MagicWand You'll probably need root access to install it though. I use it under Perl (and it needs PerlMagick for that).

It's pretty cool though.

Checkout their official site, or the php addon:

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php
http://www.magickwand.org/download/php/

Other code:

Ask your sysadmin as you probably already have it installed.

Good luck.
