I've spent most of the last week trying to get ImageMagick working on my Windows PHP installation. I gather that since I'm going to be converting PDFs to JPEGs, I need Ghostscript.
Well, I've got ImageMagick installed: http://printhq2.com/info.php
I ran a Ghostscript installer, but it didn't seem to do very much.
Some site advised me to test my installation like this:
<?php
echo "<pre>";
system("convert -version");
echo "</pre>";
?>
But it just returns blank. Can anyone help me get ImageMagick working on my server?
