magickwand remote operations

Post by sonny »

Hi all, I am trying to crop images from a remote server, but get the error below;

Fatal error: magickreadimage(): C API cannot read the format "http://www.remotehost.com/jobs/job112/bg2.JPG" (reason: no data returned `http:/www. remotehost.com/jobs/job112/bg2.JPG') [on C source line 217] in /var/www/html/projects/sp/myUsefulFunctions.class.php on line 1618

Any ideas what could be restricting access, i know the code is good because it works on local files.

MagickWand for PHP has security restrictions that prevent images from being read with the HTTP protocol. Now that we have configurable security policies in ImageMagick., there is no longer a need for hard-coded restrictions in MagickWand for PHP. In the mean-time, try iMagick. Perhaps that PHP API permits the HTTP protocol.
