adding Imagick in xampp

Question

I have followed the following steps in http://bytehash.appspot.com/2012/02/Installing-imagick-for-php-in-windows-under-xampp i have downloaded the dll file for imagick and added this into xampp/php/ext folder and included it as follows: extension=php_imagick_ts.dll. I have also installed imagemagick and can confirm it is installed as i have run 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 through the xampp control panel the following errors come up:

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

and the following error message proceeds 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 dynamic link library location - C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick_ts.dll and paste it into a document address bar it try to open the file

has anyone come accross this error? as i had the same issue when trying to install msql3 library or just simply uncommenting some of the other extensions in the php.ini file

Any advice would be great. Thanks

Answer 1

first uninstall and the things you tried, then try these steps

Answer 2

It seems the problem is with the environment variables .. try to check the extension directory is there.

Here are few links which can help you setup environment variables:

Still, if this doesn't work then try to downgrade xampp to 1.7.7.

Have you tried these .dll's? http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/

They seem to work for most people.
