Question

Trying to create a thumbnail, but i'm getting some errors and I have no experience with Imagick.

Here is my PHP:

<?php
try {
    $imagick = new Imagick();
    $imagick->readImage('C:\xampp\htdocs\ppa\032.JPG');
    $imagick->thumbnailImage(800, 800);
    $imagick->writeImage('032(2).JPG');
}
catch(Exception $e) {
    die('Error when creating a thumbnail: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
?>

I then get this error code:

Error when creating a thumbnail: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `C:\xampp\htdocs\ppa\032.JPG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/555

Here is some information I generated with some code, which I can't find again... :/

Edit:

1. I get the error instantly, there is no delay at all.
2. Running commands directly from CMD works on the examples given from installation instructions. 

I have just copied the wizard.jpg from the ImageMagick folder to use in the above script instead, just incase there is a problem with my image, but I get the same error.

Edit 5 I installed Imagick using the normal installer from their website (32bit), then I finally managed to find a dll which would work as there doesn't seem to be a reliable download section on ImageMagick's website for the DLL's.

Here is what phpinfo() displays about Imagick. enter image description here

Edit 6 I have read the following website and here is what it suggests to do, and what I have do after.

  1. If you download a DLL, make sure it is compiled with the same version of visual studio as Apache and PHP (Probably VC11 for PHP 5.5)
  2. Download with thread safety or no thread safety as per your setup
  3. Copy the DLL to your extensions folder
  4. Enable the extension in php.ini
  5. Download and install ImageMagick, make sure to select the version that comes with the dynamic link libraries, also make sure it is built for the same platform as PHP and Apache (32/64bit), even if you have a 64-bit system, like me you will probably be running the 32-bit version of PHP and Apache
  6. Add the ImageMagick path to your systems PATH variable, the installer can do this for you, but check it in Advanced System Settings to make sure it is there
  7. Restart Apache
  8. Check php_info() to see that the extension is enabled and that is supports some image formats

My results 1. Downloaded: ImageMagick-6.8.8-9-Q16-x86-dll.exe - Found the dll file included in the install directory which was called "php_imagick.dll" and put it into C:/xampp/php/ext/

This resulted in the following error: httpd.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point MagickGetImageAttribute could not be located in the dynamic link library CORE_RL_wand_.dll.

And this error too: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. 2. N/A 3. Copied to C:/xampp/php/ext/ 4. Enabled the extension: extension=php_imagick.dll 5. Again downloaded this version (I have 32bit PHP): ImageMagick-6.8.8-9-Q16-x86-dll.exe (Win32 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel) 6. enter image description here

  1. As said above, I now get errors, didn't before but may have been wrong dll.

Just tried the following as well, but I get the same errors: extension=C:/ImageMagick/php_imagick.dll

ImageMagick is installed in C:/ImageMagick.

ANSWER

It seems I may have been using the wrong version of the dll for my PHP and Apache version. I downloaded the following file, and changed the extension link to the install folder of ImageMagick instead of moving the dll t the php folder.

ImageMagick-6.6.5-10-Q8-windows-dll.exe

PHP 5.5.9.

Apache 2.4.7.

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

I think your version of the underlying Image Magick library is running without support for the image format that you're trying to open. You should be able to test this by running:

identify -list format

And seeing if JPEG 2000 or JP2 is listed.

EDIT

The OP updated with the list of image formats listed by Image Magick and it seemed a complete list of formats. However running Imagick::queryFormats() in PHP shows that no image formats are supported.

This apparently is a common problem when you are using a version of the Image Magick DLL that is not the correct version for your installed PHP version. Imagick will claim to be loaded without errors, but there will be no image formats available for either loading or saving images.

OTHER TIPS

Question is old but since this issue seems a bit hacky to solve also nowadays, I post here a quick solution:

If you're on Windows, you can find here a repository containing ImageMagick DLL.

After you successfully load php_imagick.dll extension in /php/ext/ folder

  1. print a phpinfo() page and watch the corresponding ImageMagick version reported under 'Imagick using ImageMagick library version' label
  2. then download the zip of that version of ImageMagick
    eg. for latest TS-VC11-x86 stable version:
    php_imagick v3.4.1 > ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc11-x86.zip
  3. finally, extract the downloaded zip, go to its bin folder and copy all IM_MOD_RL_...dll files and FILTER_...dll files to /apache/bin/ folder, then restart your server, finish!
    No need to run installers or change environment variables etc.

It seems I may have been using the wrong version of the dll for my PHP and Apache version. I downloaded the following file, and changed the extension link to the install folder of ImageMagick instead of moving the dll t the php folder.

ImageMagick-6.6.5-10-Q8-windows-dll.exe

PHP 5.5.9.

Apache 2.4.7.

Even after installing GhostScript, we could not get the imagick code to work after switching from AWS to Azure, getting the Delegate error. We ended up converting the PHP code to Image Magick command line, using the function execInBackground to run the command (PHP.net Exec() Page)

NOTE: The command line did not work using exec alone. The php script would not terminate normally.

//from PHP.net 
function execInBackground($cmd) { 
    if (substr(php_uname(), 0, 7) == "Windows"){ 
        pclose(popen("start /B ". $cmd, "r"));  
    } 
    else { 
        exec($cmd . " > /dev/null &");   
    } 
}

//create a thumbnail from the first page of PDF
//old php code
/*
$image_magick = new imagick(); 
$image_magick->setbackgroundcolor('white');
$image_magick->readImage($file_path . "[0]");
$image_magick = $image_magick->flattenImages();
$image_magick->setResolution(300,300);
$image_magick->thumbnailImage(102, 102, true);
$image_magick->setImageFormat('jpg');
$image_magick->writeImage($thumbnail_path);
*/

//command line syntax
$cmd = "magick convert " . chr(34) . $file_path . "[0]" . chr(34) . " -background white -flatten -resample " . chr(34) . "300x300" . chr(34) . " -thumbnail " . chr(34) . "102x102" . chr(34) . " -format jpg -write " . chr(34) . $thumbnail_path . chr(34);
execInBackground($cmd);
