Not sure how I run the command? Do I put it in a PHP page and upload it...do
I need any other details to get it to work.
I suspect Imagemagick isn't working

Gandalf,
While this command works I am having difficulty testing the mogrify
command....
My script gives an error and the image isn't reduced in size...how do I test
this command?

Should you be using the resize option?

No I need to test the mogrify command is working. I am using photopost and
the config-inc file is set to allow either mogrigy or GD 2. The latter works
but when i select the mogrify command option it does nothing and I get an
error message 'which is the same if I use an invalid path to the
command'.... I have the right path, i know Imagemagick is installed but it's
not reducing the size of my images. I mean I have been using this program
for years with no problems, so I don't think it is a script problem on my
side.

No, you type it at the command line. Testing Image Magick and testing PHP
bindings to Image Magick are two different kettles of fish.

Well using my previous example which created a jpg to use....
mogrify -format gif -size 10x10 -thumbnail 10x10 plasma_fractal1.jpg
This should turn the 100X100 jpg into a 10x10 gif

Try simply running it!
Running "`which mogrify`" at the command line (including the backticks,
but not the double quotes!) ought to give you some help text on how to use
mogrify. If that works, then it means that mogrify is accessible and
executable, and working to an extent.
