title: Install Imagick for PHP and Apache on Windows
body: <p>Steps I've taken so far:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I have installed Imagick on my Win7 machine, and it's installed and running properly via command line.</li>
  <li>I've extracted the contents of php_imagick-3.1.2-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip available <a href="http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.1.2/" rel="noreferrer">here</a> into my \PHP\ext directory. </li>
  <li>Enabled the imagick.dll in php.ini</li>
  <li>Rebooted...</li>
  <li>No errors when starting Apache.</li>
  <li>I'm still getting the <code>Fatal error: Class 'Imagick' not found</code> error when I try to run a script that uses Imagick.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Current Versions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Windows 7 x64</li>
  <li>Apache 2.4.10 x86 VC11 (from Apachelounge)</li>
  <li>PHP 5.6.3 x86 VC11 TS (from windows.php.net)</li>
  <li>ImageMagick 6.9.0-0 Q16 x86 (from imagemagick.org)</li>
  <li>Imagick DLL php_imagick-3.1.2-5.6-ts-vc11-x86.zip (from <a href="http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/imagick/3.1.2/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I was running an older version of PHP and had Imagick working fine with that, then I updated PHP (and the Imagick DLLs along with it) and now I can't seem to get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>Looking at <code>phpinfo( )</code>, I don't see Imagick listed there, so it doesn't seem to be loading the module at all. Which is weird, because I'm not getting any errors when starting Apache.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried just about every write-up and walkthrough for installing Imagick for PHP on Windows, but they seem to all be written for older versions of PHP.</p>
  
  <p>Can somebody help me get this installed and running? It seems like it's just missing one simple step that I can't seem to figure out. If you need any more info, please ask. I'll get you whatever I can to help.</p>
