title: step-by-step instructions for installing IMAGEMAGICK on WAMP?
body: <p>There don't seem to be any concise tutorials/walk throughs for installing ImageMagick on WAMP for use with PHP.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried dozens of combinations of their binary releases with different php extension dll files. I can get imagemagick working fine from the command line, and I can get it to show as ticked in the WAMP extensions, but can't actually use it.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone come across a good guide for installing this ball ache piece of software?</p>
  
  <p>I've followed <a href="http://www.knowledge-transfers.com/it/installing-imagemagick-on-windows-setup-imagick-on-php" rel="noreferrer">http://www.knowledge-transfers.com/it/installing-imagemagick-on-windows-setup-imagick-on-php</a> with no luck...</p>

  <p>Update: this is what happens when I follow the steps in PHP farmer's answer on windows7. My php.ini is setup as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>extension_dir = "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/ext/"
  
  extension=php_imagick.dll
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I reboot and get these two errors in this order</p>
