Ah champion Stig, 

The full path to IM's convert app was required.

This works:

exec('c:/ImageMagick/convert.exe "C:\IMAGES\Holding\*.JPG" -resize 600 
"C:\Image\file1.jpg"');

Cheers
Aaron

  Hi Aaron,

  By default the convert command in windows is actually a tool to convert NTFS 
-> FAT filesystems. You have to do some magic to make imagemagic convert 
function run, see http://savage.net.au/ImageMagick/html/install-convert.html

  I have found the registry fix with the 'doskey' command works best.

    Howdy all,

    I'm trying to throw together a small image resizing app that will always 
run on a local WAMP installation for personal use. (Windows XP Pro).

    I have just installed ImageMagick on the machine to test image processing 
using the CLI as I have found that using GD through PHP is a bit slow.

    I have this simple command:
    convert "C:\IMAGES\Holding\*.JPG" -resize 600 "C:\Image\file1.jpg"

    Works fine when run from cmd. But when I try to run it in exec or 
shell_exec, nothing.

    Does anyone have any ideas what this would be or know of a way to get some 
sort of debugging info for what might be going on?

    Cheers
    Aaron
