Okay so I know for a fact I have Imagemagick installed on my server. Captcha works perfectly!

My developer for my website needs imagemagick, so he can make images transparent with this script he's making me.

But he says imagemagick is on safemode, and I need to have that turned off.

Is it possible to even have imagemagick on safemode? I've never heard of this before.

I know you said that he says imagemagick is in safemode, but is it possible he is referring to PHP being in safemode? Perhaps stopping imagemagick being able to read image files from a certain directory or something... just an idea, I've never used imagemagick but with a quick search on Google I can't find anything about Imagemagick safemode, but problems with using certain functions when PHP is in safemode..

He means PHP - it's likely due to a function he's using in particular.. as Mike said, likely opening of a file.

Awesome. I appreciate it. I'll refer him to this thread!

You'll need to edit the PHP configuration file (.ini) to disable safemode. What type of hosting are you on?
