For me getImageResolution() always returns X and Y resolution in pixels per centimeter, no matter if I set it with setImageUnits() or not.

So an easy way to convert the result from pixels per centimeter to pixels per inch is to do this:

<?php
$resource = new Imagick($path);
$imageResolution = $resource->getImageResolution();

if (!empty($imageResolution['y'])) { 
$imageResolution['y'] = 
                            round($imageResolution['y'] * 2.54, 2);
}

if (!empty($imageResolution['x'])) {
$imageResolution['x'] = 
                            round($imageResolution['x'] * 2.54, 2);
}

?>

Please note that this method seems to return the image density, or DPI, not it's output resolution. If you want the output resolution, please refer to Imagick::getImageGeometry: http://www.php.net/manual/en/imagick.getimagegeometry.php

See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#density for more infomation on the difference.

As of the following versions, the results of this function returns the x and y resolution as floats.

//location of image: c:/htdocs/rose.jpg
$path="c:/htdocs/";
$image=new Imagick($path."rose.jpg");
$array=$image->getImageResolution();
print_r($array);

result:

Here is simple code snippet to get image DPI:
<?php
$img = new imagick( 'file.jpg' );
print_r($img->getImageResolution()); // Array ( [x] => 72 [y] => 72 )

?>
