ImageMagick Brew installation with PHP Module in Mac OS X

I have installed ImageMagick using brew install imagemagick. This all worked fine and I can run any ImageMagick command from the Terminal / Command line.

Now when I try to use the ImageMagick classes in PHP, I get an error Class 'Imagick' not found in .... I guess this is because the ImageMagick module is not loaded.

Could anyone help me to get this thing working in PHP? Thanks!

Additional info:
Mac OS X Version: 10.8: Mountain Lion
PHP Version: 5.3.13

Solution

  • Your ImageMagick installation is not enough. You also need the Imagick package (possibly called php72-imagick or similar for home brew).

    Imagick doesn't do the work itself, it is a native PHP extension for creating and modifying images using the ImageMagick API.

    Try to search for the exact name of the package via brew search imagick.
