I've installed Imagemajick. phpinfo() shows it and GDlib 2.0 installed properly. I have tried multiple tests to get it to work and all have failed. Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong. Below is my current test script. All images and php are in the same dir for testing. Thanks.

[PHP]
<?
exec("convert file.jpg -resize 100x75 new_file.jpg");

// display original photo
if (file_exists('file.jpg'))
{
?>
<p>Original Photo:<br /><img src="file.jpg"></p>
<?
}
else
{
?>
<p>Original Photo: Not Found</p>
<?
}

if (file_exists('new_file.jpg'))
{
?>
<p>Thumbnail:<br /><img src="new_file.jpg"></p>
<?
}
else
{
?>
<p>Thumbnail: Unable to Create</p>
<?
}
?>
[/PHP]

"Thumbnail: Unable to Create" is always the result.

Heya, empiresolutions.

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (even though you managed to figure out the problem, other developers would want to be able to easily find your thread in the event that they have the same problem).

Glad to hear you got it working! Good luck with your project, and if you ever need anything, post back anytime :)
