Your note may be the reason. I guess I should go and try to find a copy of an older version of ImageMagick and see what happens.

A single hyphen returns just the version string. The preg_match wouldn't even be needed. But I'm new at this. Sorry if I have made a huge oversight; just trying to help! Can’t you just:

$convert_path = ‘convert -version’;

I've had a few cases where this function returned an empty string. In those cases I've been unable to determine the ImageMagick version, so I'm just assuming it's an older version issue. I'm thinking a version number like 5.5 may cause a similar problem because of the regex used. It seems that this may not work with older versions of ImageMagick.
