  2. Hi Nghia,

    You can write the text with the fromString() function then apply it as a watermark with no transparency to a any background you like

  3. Hello, I would like to generate images on the fly without having to save them to the disk. In fact I would like to write a PHP script returning an image to the browser (not HTML). Is this possible with phMagick?

    Greetings from Luxembourg,

    phMagick runs from the command line, so it needs to generate files, you can however easily write a php script delete them x minutes after they where created

  5. Hi

    Thank you very much for your great utility!

    When I used your resizeExactly function I found that it would not crop as I expected when using a source with e.g. aspect ratio 3/2 to a destination with a higher aspect ratio e.g. 4:2.

    I thought it would then cut the pic at the top and the bottom, but it did not.

    With a very small modification it works as a intend:

    ——————-
    /**
    * tries to resize an image to the exact size wile mantaining aspect ratio,
    * the image will be croped to fit the measures
    * @param $width
    * @param $height
    */
    function resizeExactly(phmagick $p , $width, $height){
    //requires Crop plugin
    //requires dimensions plugin

    $p->requirePlugin(‘crop’);
    $p->requirePlugin(‘info’);

    list($w,$h) = $p->getInfo($p->getSource());

    $desicion_height = $width * ($h/$w);

    if($desicion_heightresize($w, $h)->crop($width, $height);

    }
    ——————-

    Kind regards, John

  6. Here is the function again, as there were some losses because of wrong HTML-Tags:
    —————–
    /**
    * tries to resize an image to the exact size wile mantaining aspect ratio,
    * the image will be croped to fit the measures
    * @param $width
    * @param $height
    */
    function resizeExactly(phmagick $p , $width, $height){
    //requires Crop plugin
    //requires dimensions plugin
    $p->requirePlugin(‘crop’);
    $p->requirePlugin(‘info’);
    list($w,$h) = $p->getInfo($p->getSource());

    $desicion_height = $width * ($h/$w);
    if($desicion_height<$height){
    $h = $height;
    $w = 0;
    }else{
    $h = 0;
    $w = $width;
    }
    $p->resize($w, $h)->crop($width, $height);
    }

  8. hi, sven

    i tried to run your simplest sample script (the rotation):
    rotate(45);
    ?>

    i get:
    Warning: include(phMagick.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/alexan48/public_html/phmagick/testphmagick.php on line 2

    my webhost tells me ImageMagick is installed. It’s path is:
    ImageMagicK :- /usr/local/ImageMagick/bin

    can you help?
    many thanks
    johny

    The errors says it can not find a file named phMagick.php, your server file system is case sensitive so type the file name the same way it’s on your file system (ex: phmagick.php)

  13. i’m getting pdf conversions, great! problem, any pdf larger than about 200 Kb comes out scrambled. any idea why that might be? thanks! (feel free to delete my obsolete comments in this thread)

  14. hi, i’ve read that your tool can be used to access the entire ImageMagick function library, through some sort of “exec” function. I cannot find instructions for this in your documentation. Can you help?

    thanks much!

  15. Well, you can not access all of ImageMagick right now

    The exec function is a php function that executes systems calls, that’s what phMagick does, it builds a command line and then call the exec function to run the command

    If you know the commands you can mail them to me and I will add them to phMagick

  16. Hi, I’m trying to create a multi-page TIFF from a bunch of single page TIFF files
    This works at the command line> convert p1.TIF p2.TIF p3.TIF multi3.TIF
    Can this be scripted in PHP? Thanks!

  17. I think you can, try

    $phmagick->setSource(“p1.TIF p2.TIF p3.TIF”)

    that should do the trick

  19. Hi grek,

    The crop function exists but it’s not documented

    it would be great, if you want to contribute and document this function

    cheers

  20. Hi Sven,
    I have used phMagick in the past with no problem. Today I am trying to get it working on a server which had to install ImageMagick. I cant seem to get it working though – I used your debug code and got the following:

    phMagick: Error executing “convert -scale “200x>” -quality 80 -strip “source.jpg” “resized.jpg””
    return code: 127
    command output :”sh: line 1: convert: command not found”

    Please advise – thank you very much.

  22. How can I do multiple image re-sizes from same source file? I’ve tried this, but I get two same image outputs.

    $x = new phmagick(“image.jpg”);
    $x->setDestination(“outputlarge.jpg”)->resize(1600,1600);
    $x->setDestination(“outputsmall.jpg”)->resize(640);

  23. Hi, when i’m generating one image all works fine but when try to fill my gallery my Xampp crashes, without an error.
    The images are generated thru the url like:
    http://localhost/thumb/id/10.jpg

    It seems like imagemagick or phmagick can’t have multiple instances at the same time. Any solution?

    Tnx!

  24. Just saw that you released a new version with the “resizeExactly” command. Works fine, but it seems, that no .PNG images are supported?! :-/

  25. I just came across this and it seems great.

    I am having some issues with it. I used debug you suggested and still get this. I restarted my apache and have tried various paths as described in the link above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  26. Hi,

    I’m using phMagick to resize image, but i got some errors “rc: 7″ and “rc: 1″, what does errors mean? plz help me.

    Thank so much.

  29. @Jan-Berend

    you should use the phisical path for the images

    have you checked your webserver logs (apache and php error logs) I’m sure you will find fullish information in there

  30. @Bogdan Kharchenko

    $x = new phmagick(”image.jpg”);
    $x->setDestination(”outputlarge.jpg”)->resize(1600,1600);
    $x->setSource(‘image.jpg’)
    $x->setDestination(”outputsmall.jpg”)->resize(640);

  32. Dear Sven,

    any help please?

  33. @Thomas Gatt

    This seems like a permissions issue, does the web user user has access to to convert.exeor the files ?

    Any useful information on the server logs?

  34. Hello,

    Is it possible to capture an html page with image magick and to generate a thumbnail on the fly ?
    How would you to this ?

    Best regards

  36. Hi, it is the best library of all that I used.
    But I find bug into resizeExactly function, it returns empty.
    please, change string:
    $p->resize($w, $h)->crop($width, $height);
    on:
    return $p->resize($w, $h)->crop($width, $height);

  37. Can you give any indication how fast phMagick is compared to using imagick? i.e. for thumbnailing and resizing for example

  38. It should be a bit slower than imagick but much easier to use.
    Imagick is a native php extension and phMagick does a system call

    if you do a benchmark I would be very interested in the results

  39. Dear Franco

    can i be able to use the following in phmagick and how

    foreach (glob(“*.pdf”) as $filename)

    {
    echo ” $filename”. “\n”;

    // echo exec(‘test’);

    $p->acquireFrame(‘$filename’);

    //convert to png
    //$p = new phmagick(”,’Beginning ActionScript 2.0.png’);

    }

  41. Hello!
    Before , thanks for this good program
    Please help me
    I want to resize picture and put my logo on outPutPicture
    I do this but never work.

    include “phMagick.php”;
    $p = new phMagick(‘My_InPut_Picture.jpg’, ‘My_OutPut_Picture.jpg’);
    $p->resize(640, 480);

    $p = new phMagick(‘My_OutPut_Picture.jpg’, ‘My_OutPut_Picture.jpg’);
    $p->watermark(‘MyLogo.png’, phMagickGravity::NorthEast, 80);

    Note that my InPut_Picture is ‘JPG’ and the logo is ‘PNG’ maybe is that the problem?
