title: Class 'Imagick' not found - PHP and Windows
body: <p>I need to use Imagick to convert an image using PHP on Xampp and Windows. I am getting this error: <code>Class 'Imagick' not found</code> . These are the steps I took:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Downloaded Imagick dll and placed it in the <code>/ext</code> folder (the folder that loads the modules from php.ini)</p></li>
  <li><p>Enabled the extension in the php.ini</p></li>
  <li><p>Added the other dll files that come with Imagick to the /php folder (they are in the correct directory because after placing them, the errors indicating they are missing were gone).</p></li>
  <li><p>installed ImageMagick on the device.</p></li>
  <li><p>checked <code>php -m</code> , and can see imagick in the list.</p></li>
  <li><p>checked <code>phpinfo()</code> for (imagick) <strong>still not available</strong>.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have confirmed (from phpinfo) that the DLLs I am downloading match the build I have for php (PHP 5.5, x86, thread-secure, VC 11).</p>
  
  <p>I still cannot get it to work. I have a feeling it is a mismatch between the downloaded modules and the server. My system is 64x but Apache and php are 86x (as seen from phpinfo).</p>
