Re: ImageMagick and Convert In PHP

Hi, I had problem with ImageMagick's identify. When trying to use with a shell command in PHP big problems! Why. Trace of identify showed that it wants to create a temporary file in the directory where the scripts is but the apache/php runs under nobody:nobody but the web directories are owned by andy:web . so identify fails. Maybe my problem and yours have something in commong. try : strace your_command_here and see the output.
