This function returns true on success but setting the iterator to an invalid index throws an exception instead of returning false:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ImagickException' with message 'Unable to set iterator index'



This can happen when counting images inside a gif file, because the iterator count starts at zero and not one. If you count the number of images in a gif file be sure to use iterator 0 for the first image, like this:



<?php

$image = new Imagick('simple.gif');

$image->setIteratorIndex(0);

?>
