Please point me in right direction and tell me how can i install ImageMagick in xampp

Answer 1

I Guess all your PHP dll files (librarires) are 32 bit, so if your system is 64 bit and you will still need to download and operate 32 bit ImageMagick.Your error also said

'C:\xampp\php\ext\php_imagick.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application //win32 

For more info see following link here but first download compatible dll file, best of luck
