If you don't sure whether the file exists or not or maybe it's broken, then you should use try - catch construction. It prevents code fails, when code stops execution after call of pingImage (if the file doesn't exist or it's broken).

<?php
$im
= new Imagick();
try {
   
$im->pingImage('3.jpg');
}
catch(
ImagickException $e) {
    echo
"image doesn't exist";
}
?>

Actually the previous example causes file to be loaded twice on Imagick's stack, proper way to do this is:

<?php

$file
= 'foo.jpg';
$image = new Imagick();
$image->pingImage($file);
$image_info = $image->identifyImage();

?>
