Steps to Install ImageMagick on UwAmp for Windows:as of March 31, 2016Detailed guide for newbies like me.... continued4. Goto:    http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick    as of today, latest is 3.4.1 so I went to:    http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.4.1/windows    My PHP version is: 5.6.18, and Thread Safety is Yes from    Step #1, so I downloaded:       5.6 Thread Safe (TS) x86    I got: php_imagick-3.4.1-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip5. Unzip and copy "php_imagick.dll" to the php extension folder:    In my case:    php_imagick.dll --> C:\UwAmp\bin\php\php-5.6.18\ext    Note: this ZIP also contains dlls which other guides says    to extract to the extension folder of apache.    NO NEED TO DO IT. Step #3 has taken care of it.6. Edit "php.ini" and add at the very end (could be     anywhere I suppose):      [Imagick]      extension=php_imagick.dll      For super newbies: click the edit button in the UwAmp UI,      "php_uwamp.ini" will open and edit it. It will be copied to      the correct php.ini when UwAmp is restarted. I had       trouble at first since there are several php*.ini scattered       all over.7. Restart Apache8. Check PHPInfo    scroll to section (or find): imagick        number of supported formats: 234    If there is no "imagick" section or "supported format" is 0,    something went wrong.Hope this helps.

Steps to Install ImageMagick on UwAmp for Windows:as of March 31, 2016Detailed guide for newbies like me.Took a long time to get it to work.I initially followed:http://php .net/manual/en/imagick.installation.phpbut after installation, PHPInfo under imagick showsnumber of supported formats = 0 So I followed these steps, clobbered from various sourcesto get it to work.1. Open PHPInfo and check:   Architecture = x86 or x64   Thread Safety = yes or no2. Download ImageMagick from:   http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/   In my case I downloaded: ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc11-x86.zip   because the Architecture under PHPInfo is x86   as for vc11 or vc14   search google for "visual c++ 11 runtime" or   "visual c++ 14 runtime" and install it3. Unzip and copy all dlls from the bin subfolder to the    Apache bin directory. It's a bunch of CORE_RL_*.dll    and IM_MOD_RL_*.dll plus a few other dlls.    In my case, I installed UwAmp in C:\UwAmp, so:    (from zip) bin/*.dll --> C:\UwAmp\bin\apache\bin

For windows users, I found this, hope this helphttps://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.htmlthank you Michele Locati

After 2 hours of looking for help from different documentation & sites, I found out none of them are complete solution.  So, I summary my instruction here:1) yum install php-devel2) cd /usr3) wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear4) php go-pear5) See the following line in /etc/php.ini [include_path=".:/usr/PEAR"]6) pecl install imagick7) Add the following line in /etc/php.ini [extension=imagick.so]8) service httpd restartHopefully, I can save other engineer effort & time.... Good luck!

Just a note that the 'Ian Co' instructions for 'Installing ImageMagick on UwAmp for Windows' also works for XAMPP.  Just change the paths accordingly.

For windows users, any stack: go to https://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.html and check the filters for php version, thread safety and architecture. Download the appropriate package and follow install instructions on the site.

Addendum to Ian Co's "Steps to Install ImageMagick for Windows" specifically for Uniform Server Z and how to fix if you get an empty list of ImageMagick supported formats):Thanks to Ian Co's comments above for setting me in the right direction.My Uniform Server is installed to B:\UniServerZ, adjust the following steps to your specific installation.If you've been messing around with a gazillion solutions like me, first delete any previous copies of imagemagick dll-s (i.e. IM_MOD_RL...dll-s, CORE_RL...dll-s) from your sysem, i.e. I had copied them to C:\Windows\system, B:\UniServerZ\core\php56, B:\UniServerZ\core\php56\extensions. 1. Download ImageMagick-6.8.9-1-vc9-x86.zip from http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/Extract contents of bin folder to B:\UniServerZ\core\php56 (or whichever vresion of php you are using)2. Download the appropriate imagick package from  http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.1.2/windowsFor me the right one was  php_imagick-3.1.2-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip , check phpinfo whether you need the thread-safe version or not and which architecture.Extract php_imagemagick.dll ONLY (and not the other dll-s) to B:\UniServerZ\core\php56\extensionsPreviously I had tried ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc11-x86.zip and ImageMagick-6.9.3-7-vc14-x86.zip but the dll-s here did not work, perhaps because Uniform Server was compiled using VC9? and these were compiled with later versions!? What a mess.I had also tried creating a C:\ImageMagick and adding it to PATH user-level and to MAGICK_HOME system-level environment variables, but this proved unnecessary (although it also works).Also, installing the windows binary releases from http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windowswas unnecessary (and might actually mess things up if windows tries those dll-s first).
