[thelist] php and imagemagick - not getting anywhere

[Dunstan Orchard]

Hi everyone,

I'm tearing my hair out over imagemagick and php. I can't even get the 
simplest example to work, and my host assures me that the path to IM is 
correct and that another site is running IM quite happily on the same 
server.

I've tried a number of examples from tutorial sites, and none will work.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong with this example? I cut and 
pasted it from a tutorial site, so it should work (the original image is 
present on the server and displaying properly, so the paths are correct):

<?
error_reporting(E_ALL);
define("CONVERT_PATH", "/usr/bin/convert");
exec(CONVERT_PATH." -geometry 100x75 /home/licenced/public_html/184.jpg 
/home/licenced/public_html/184b.jpg");

// display original photo
if (file_exists('/home/licenced/public_html/184.jpg'))
	{
?>
<p>Original Photo:<br /><img src="184.jpg"></p>
<?
	}
else
	{
?>
<p>Original Photo: Not Found</p>
<?
	}

if (file_exists('/home/licenced/public_html/184b.jpg'))
	{
?>
<p>Thumbnail:<br /><img src="184b.jpg"></p>
<?
	}
else
	{
?>
<p>Thumbnail: Unable to Create</p>
<?
	}
?>


Thanks very much - Dunstan

p.s. I'm on digest, so if anyone can help, would they be kind enough to 
CC me please?
