Req->Doc #61583 [Asn]: Imagick extension does not work with relative paths

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61583&edit=1 ID: 61583 Updated by: danack@php.net Reported by: filip dot karas at gmail dot com Summary: Imagick extension does not work with relative paths Status: Assigned -Type: Feature/Change Request +Type: Documentation Problem Package: imagick Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.4.0 Assigned To: danack Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: After having thought about this for a while - I'm not going to attempt to change it. It is trivial to call realpath in userland, and pass absolute file names to Imagick. Trying to handle things like "./SQTimetable.pdf[2]" which means open the 2nd page of the PDF as valid "file names" is absolutely not trivial - in fact I'm not sure how it could be handled. Rather than creating a whole load of work, just to solve something that already has a userland solution, I'm just going to update the documentation to be clearer that only absolute file names are supported.

What you are seeing is very unlikely to be related to this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-02-07 18:12:24] lee dot traynor at skeptic dot de Realpath () returns an ordinary ANSI/ISO string but Imagick requires this to be in UTF-8, so if there are any unusual characters in the path, this has to be converted first: $im = new Imagick (utf8_encode (realpath ("some_file.jpg"))); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-18 14:01:01] danack@php.net There isn't going to be a perfect solution. Imagick can pass things that are not valid filenames to ImageMagick, and this greatly confuses the PHP virtual directory. For example new Imagick("foo.pdf[2]") would load the 3rd page of a PDF as a single image, but it is not a valid filename. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-01 17:20:19] danack@php.net Assigning to myself to investigate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
