Both xyking and quickshiftin include errors in their comments. xyking's error is in looping through negative numbers. quickshifting is incorrect in stating that 0 *increases* contrast (it does not - it decreases it).

Here is a (tested, working) method to increment or decrement contrast:
<?php
class Images {
public function
contrastImage($contrast, $imagePath){

$this->image = new Imagick();
$this->image->readImage($imagePath);                    

if (
$contrast > 0){
                for (
$i = 1; $i < $contrast; $i++){
                   
$this->image->contrastImage(1);
                }
            }else if (
$contrast <= 0) {

                for (
$i = 0; $i > $contrast; $i--) {

                   
$this->image->contrastImage(0);
                }
            }
     }
}
?>

Tip:
<?php
$image
->contrastImage(1); //Increase contrast once
$image->contrastImage(1); //Increase contrast more
$image->contrastImage(1); //Increase contrast even more

$image->contrastImage(0); //Decrease contrast once
$image->contrastImage(0); //Decrease contrast more
$image->contrastImage(0); //Decrease contrast even more

//This could be made into a function like this:
public function contrast($level) {
       
$level = (int)$level;
        if (
$level < -10) {
           
$level = -10;
        } else if (
$level > 10) {
           
$level = 10;
        }
        if (
$level > 0) {
            for (
$i = 0; $i < $level; $i++) {
               
$this->image->contrastImage(1);
            }
        } else if (
$level < 0) {
            for (
$i = $level; $i > 0; $i--) {
               
$this->image->contrastImage(0);
            }
        }
    }
?>

xyking's comment is wrong so be careful if you read it. You pass a value of 0 to *increase* the contrast.
