Using Imagick in Symfony2?

php symfony imagick
Adam Stacey picture Adam Stacey · Aug 18, 2011 · Viewed 8.9k times · Source

I am trying to use Imagick with Symfony2, but every time I try and use it, it gives me the following error:

Fatal error: Class 'Acme\TestBundle\Services\Imagick' not found...

I am using Imagick in a service I have setup to manage my images. What do I need to do to be able to use this class?

I can confirm the Imagick extension is working on the server and is in use by other sites.

Thanks in advance for any help.

When you instantiate the Imagick class, use a full quallified class-name:

new \Imagick;

This will make PHP not look for the class Imagick within the current namespace.
