IMAGICK does not show in Apache 2 PHPInfo or run in my php code after copying php_imagick.dll to c:\xampp\php\ext folder and CORE_RI and IM_MOD dlls to C:\xampp\apache\bin folder. Added extension=php_imagic.dll to php.ini
Running Windows 11 and php ver 8.1.12. Downloaded php_imagick3.7 – 8.1 ts-vs 16 - x64.zip. Checked that all 162 downloaded files are unblocked.
I don’t know why the PHP Warning below is trying to find php.imagick.dll instead of php_imagick.dll
Command Prompt replies below:
C:\xampp\php>php -version

Thank you, Christopher Becker - I copied an existing ";extension" over my imagick extension in php.ini and re-entered "php_imagick.dll". Imagick installed. It appears in PHPinfo and works in my code
