php7 webp

PHP 7 does not have built-in support for the WebP image format. However, you can still work with WebP images in PHP 7 by using external libraries or extensions.

One popular library for working with WebP images in PHP is the "Imagick" library. Imagick is a powerful image manipulation library that supports a wide range of image formats, including WebP.

To use Imagick with PHP 7, you need to make sure that the Imagick extension is installed and enabled on your server. Once you have it installed, you can use the following code to convert an image to WebP format:

<?php
$imagePath = 'path/to/image.jpg';
$outputPath = 'path/to/output.webp';

$imagick = new Imagick($imagePath);
$imagick->setImageFormat('webp');
$imagick->writeImage($outputPath);

echo 'Image converted to WebP format';
?>

In this example, you need to specify the path to your input image and the desired output path for the converted WebP image. The setImageFormat('webp') method sets the output format to WebP, and the writeImage($outputPath) method saves the converted image to the specified output path.

Remember to check if the Imagick extension is available on your server and install it if necessary. You can check the official PHP documentation for more information on how to install and enable the Imagick extension: https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php
