Especially as there is no php-internal image magick: 

* IMagick is a native PHP extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick API. Documentation for the extension is available here.
Installation requirements on other platforms

PHP >= 5.1.3 and ImageMagick >= 6.2.4 is required. The amount of formats supported is by Imagick is entirely dependent upon the amount of formats supported by your ImageMagick installation. For example, Imagemagick requires ghostscript to conduct PDF operations.

* MagickWand for PHP a native PHP-extension to the ImageMagick MagickWand API.
 
In order to use the MagickWand For PHP module's functions, you need to install ImageMagick version 6.3.5, or greater, and the MagickWand for PHP extension source code / DLL.

ImageMagick can be downloaded from http://www.imagemagick.org/.

MagickWand For PHP's source / DLL can be downloaded from http://www.magickwand.org/download/php/.


* phMagick is a wrapper class for ImageMagick, wrapping the most
common web image manipulation actions in easy to use functions, but
allowing full access to ImageMagick's power by issuing system calls to
it's command-line programs.

 (see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php and links  therein) 

So, all these nifty php-libraries are wrappers like the typo3 image
functions as well.
