No need to use -geometry if both files are the same size. Try

exec($IMAGEMAGICK_PATH."convert picA.jpg picB.jpg +append picAB.jpg");

Use -append if you want to merge pictures in a column.

Add -background none or -background black or -background white or whatever, if your pictures are not the same size. In this case you may also want to add -gravity center or -gravity south or some such to control how exactly the two images merge. The -gravity needs to appear before the +-append on the commandline then:

exec($IMAGEMAGICK_PATH."convert big.jpg small.jpg -gravity east -append 2x.jpg");
