I need to read PSD file into PHP code and get group layers and X-Y positions.

How can i do it? I've heard of ImageMagick but never worked on it.

If you guys have some links to get started please provide it to me.

You can use ImageMagick for this, using something like:

$im = new Imagick("image.psd");

foreach($im as $layer) {
  // do something with each $layer

  // example: save all layers to separate PNG files
  $layer->writeImage("layer" . ++$i . ".png");
}

Also, you can look at this answer to a question similar to yours, and has some code examples for how to get x,y positions of layers, for instance.
