Has someone heard of the extension?

php_imagick is an extension for PHP4 that makes the ImageMagick image manipulation library available from within PHP scripts.

Sounds like a neat idea. However, compiling a module or even adding modules to PHP is not something most people can do (they don't have root access to their servers) :sad: I fear that this probably wouldn't be the best option for Gallery...

It would be trivially easy to write a G2 module to use php_imagemagick instead of the external binaries, especially with the new toolkit API. If there's a demand for this, I'm sure we (or somebody else) will be able to provide it.

Hi Bharat !

Would be quite nice to be able to use the php_imagemagick; so a vote for me on that one; should also be able to gain a bit of performance..
