Running Image magick code after installation

Question

I have just installed Imagemagick and imagick in my centos .using

yum install ImageMagick
yum install ImageMagick-devel

cd /root
wget http://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.0.1.tgz
tar zxf imagick-3.0.1.tgz
cd imagick-3.0.1
phpize
./configure
make
make install

Installation went fine without any errors , but now iam trying to run, php ImageMagick code

<?php  
$cmd = " -background none -pointsize 60 -font DRAGM.ttf -fill red ". 
 " -strokewidth 1 -stroke black label:\"myexample\" "; 

exec("convert $cmd coloured_font.png"); 
?>

Edit: I have also tried this code... but still it's displaying a blank page...

<?php
/* Create some objects */
$image = new Imagick();
$draw = new ImagickDraw();
$pixel = new ImagickPixel( 'gray' );

/* New image */
$image->newImage(800, 75, $pixel);

/* Black text */
$draw->setFillColor('black');

/* Font properties */
$draw->setFont('Bookman-DemiItalic');
$draw->setFontSize( 30 );

/* Create text */
$image->annotateImage($draw, 10, 45, 0, 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog');

/* Give image a format */
$image->setImageFormat('png');

/* Output the image with headers */
header('Content-type: image/png');
echo $image;

php.info shows

ideally it should create image with the text myexample, but its not working, is there any ways to fix this?

Have you tried php -m to see if the extension is enabled at all? — Diego Agulló
i checked, its showing as imagic but not showing for imagemagick does it has to show? — Friend
Hm... I think that you are using a "wrong" approach. You are using the plain old command instead of the PHP extension classes to generate the image. Is that intended? If you use the command, you don't need the PHP extension at all. — Diego Agulló
actually i need to work on php extension class, for some image manipulations...thats the reason iam trying this method , and ideally it should work but not sure whats the bug here :( — Friend
@Dolly the OP is not using Windows, and the used method is "fine" as long as it does load the PHP extension, as shown by php -m. — Diego Agulló

Look at your "-font DRAGM.ttf". Try to set OR "/full/path/to/font.ttf", OR just font name. Available list of font names: "convert -list font" from console.
