installing modules on xp

[theEclipse]

Hello, I am trying to install the imagemagick .dll for php. I have put the .dll in the extensions folder and edited my .ini file to look there. it does, and I have verified that by uncommenting one of the pre-installed modules.

but the imagick.dll cant be loaded.

What am I missing here?

How are you being informed that it can't be loaded? What's your webserver?

Your verification involves uncommenting a pre-installed module and restarting the webserver and noting that that extension is loaded and operable, correct? Have you also verified that the pre-installed module does not exist in any other folder just in case? Specifically the folder with the php executable/dll and the Windows & Windows/System(32) folders?

Thanks for your reply.

When the module fails to load, php puts out an alert box that says it cant find module xxx.

You are right in my methods to verify the installation of the modules already there.

All I did was copy the imagemaick dll into the extensions directory and add this line to my php.ini file:

extension=php_imagick.dll

Sorry for the slow respons...

Run phpinfo(); then verify that extension_dir is set to the directory where you're putting the file. If not, this is your problem, if so come back and let us know.
