Description:
------------
I am unsure whether this is a problem, or appropriate behaviour that either isn't documented, or is and I can't find where.

If you use Apache's mod_mpm_prefork then everything works as expected. If you try to use mod_mpm_event or mod_mpm_worker then Imagick is not loaded as a PHP module when Apache is restarted.

Apache version 2.4.6 using mod_php with version 7.0.0.

Test script:
---------------
With Apache mod_mpm_event or mod_mpm_worker set as the MPM module then simply:

$image = new \Imagick('/path/to/file.jpg');

Will produce an error like: PHP Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Imagick' not found in /some/code/location.php

That exact behaviour would be seen, if Apache/PHP was using a different ini file that did not contain `extension=imagick.so` in it.

Please can you double-check that the ini file being used does attempt to load the module.

There should be an error message somewhere if it is trying but failing; please could you add that error message to your issue.

There don't appear to be any related issues logged to the error_log file. Here are the lines generated when restarting using event.c as the MPM module:

In comparison, here are the entries when restarted with prefork MPM:

As I said before:
"That exact behaviour would be seen, if Apache/PHP was using a different ini file that did not contain `extension=imagick.so` in it. Please can you double-check that the ini file being used does attempt to load the module."

Please can you check the ini file being used. One way of doing this is to do phpinfo() in a page served by the server, and look the line:

    Loaded Configuration File	/etc/php.ini

And check that your server is attempting to load Imagick.

Hi

I can confirm that the directory of additional ini files to be parsed is changed when you switch to the event.c MPM so the ini file containing the extension=imagick.so declaration wasn't being included. Also, a different module directory is used for this MPM. However, if I do include that ini file in this location, and copy the imagick.so to the new php-zts directory then it does still fail to load imagick but with an error in the logs. That error is:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php-zts/modules/imagick.so' - /usr/lib64/php-zts/modules/imagick.so: undefined symbol: core_globals in Unknown on line 0

"and copy the imagick.so to the new php-zts directory then it does still fail to load imagick but with an error in the logs."

This doesn't work.

You can't just copy library files around and expects stuff to magically work.

When Imagick is compiled, the code that is generated is different based on whether it's being compiled against the thread safe version of PHP, or whether it's being compiled against the version that isn't thread safe.

You need to install an appropriately compiled version for the worker type you want to use.
