Solution

  • I know we can open php.ini directly from wamp icon shown in tray but in my case it was not opening. So i was manually opening it from C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12 But then i realized that we have to make changes in three files to make it work. That are:

    1. C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.ini
    2. C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\phpForApache.ini
    3. C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin\php.ini

    Then I followed the steps given by fsasvari in following link

    1. Download ImageMagick: ImageMagick-6.7.7-5-Q16-windows-dll from here (other versions did not work for me)
    2. Install in C:\imagemagick, on last step check "Add application directory to your system path"
    3. Download Imagick DLL: PHP5.5.x version from http://www.peewit.fr/imagick/ (I have 5.5+ version installed on my localhost
    4. Copy php_imagick.dll to C:\wamp\bin\php\ext
    5. Download PHP 5.5 Thread Safe (TS) x86 version from http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick/3.1.2/windows
    6. Copy CORE_RL_* files to C:\wamp\bin\apache\bin\
    7. Edit php.ini file in C:\wamp\bin\apache\bin\php.ini, add extension=php_imagick.dll line in extensions section
    8. Copy all files from C:\imagemagick\modules\coders and C:\imagemagick\modules\filters to C:\imagemagick to load ImageMagick supported formats
    9. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables -> New System Variable -> MAGICK_HOME = C:\imagemagick
    10. Restart Wamp server and check phpinfo() for imagick plugin
    11. If last step does not work, restart Windows
