There is a PHP module for Imagemagick, called imagick, sort of like the one for GD. Following is some simple code that has worked for me.
if(!extension_loaded(‘imagick’)) { dl(‘imagick.so’); }
$handle = imagick_create();
imagick_set_attribute($handle,array(“quality”=>1,”magick”=>”png”));
imagick_set_attribute($handle,”size”,”98x20”);
imagick_read($handle,”xc:#cccccc”);
imagick_annotate($handle,array(
“primitive” => “text 10,14 hello”,
“pointsize” => 16,
“antialias” => 1,
“stroke” => “#000000”,
“font” => “arial.ttf”,
));
$handle = imagick_copy_rotate ($handle, 270);
header(“Content-type: image/png”);
imagick_dump($handle,”png”);
?>

I think you are right. One neat thing, I'd have never predicted with the internet, is that the sites are staying around, so that people can find them, read them and learn from them. The worst thing about the .edu internet was data rot (a form of link rot) where resources and knowledge went into the vapor every semester.
But what good are websites and references, if the software in question is not being actively developed. The imagick modul for example has so many bugs and glitches, and it seems that no one is taking care of it. So I wish someone would update all those websites, instead of them still being there, pointing to the same old (outdated) information.

would it be possible that you may make it a bit more specific for the non-programmers??
such as “save as” and the next next step…etc??
if it’s possible would be great, love to use it on my site. Thanks!
