A few years ago i wrote a post moaning about how difficult it is to install imagick on Centos. Well i have to say that was a breeze compared to installing it on Windows..
As we know it is a PECL extension. On the page we see this “This extension requires ImageMagick version 6.5.3-10+ and PHP 5.4.0+.”.
But what they are not saying there is that you should not use the official windows binaries that you get from imagemagick.org. In fact they are saying the opposite.
