I think it definitely does have a use, don't get me wrong, I'm just doubting that the use is widespread enough to be in PHP's cvs currently... I think perhaps we should in the meantime have a little "repository" somewhere of extensions (just a list), where imagemagick could be listed. Also, as you said yourself, currently its very basic, so at least we should let it mature a little (btw, I'm just going on what you said here, I haven't looked at the code). -SterlingLet it do to the list then ...mmh.I'm fine with pear, if there would be a standard way for deploying traditional extensions. About the general usage of this extension: I see a lot of people using ImageMagick with exec()/system() since it supports a vast number of imageformats and some other features not supported by gd. Nevertheless, i'm certainly not offended, if you don't want it in the main cvs, but I think a lot of people could see a real use in it.On Wed, 21 Nov 2001, Christian Stocker wrote:I see no point in adding this extension to cvs actually, when we have pear, let's add it there, until then, I don't think this belongs in the php documentation or in the php source tree (no offense christian I just don't see a general enough usage for this extension).On Tue, 20 Nov 2001, Egon Schmid wrote: From: "Christian Stocker" <chregu@phant.ch>Did you request a cvs account already? IMO this would be a fine extension. However, i think it should move to the PEAR repository, as soon as that framework is ready.mmh, as the extension is not in the php-source tree at the moment, it doesn't make sense to check it in into phpdoc. Or am I wrong about that? But as soon as ext/imagick is in the cvs (if...), I will commit my documentation to phpdoc as well.I wrote further on my ImageMagick extension (still a lot missing), but most importantly i wrote some documentation. You can have a look at it at http://php.chregu.tv/imagick/ comments etc. always welcome.Looks good. Please commit it to phpdoc and make your updates there.
