[SOLVED] Getting metadata from an image

[rondog]

I am wanting to get metadata from jpgs like shutter speed, focal length, exposure time etc. I googled and found:

http://www.ozhiker.com/electronics/pjmt/index.html

 

It seems to be very outdated and doesn't work with php5. Are their any other ways of doing this?

search for exif php functions. on second thought, not sure you'll get the full exif data you're after. i have no experience with this.

Well you were right..I found this that has most everything I need.

<?php

$xmp_parsed = ee_extract_exif_from_pscs_xmp ("test.jpg",1);

function ee_extract_exif_from_pscs_xmp ($filename,$printout=0) {
    
    // very straightforward one-purpose utility function which
    // reads image data and gets some EXIF data (what I needed) out from its XMP tags (by Adobe Photoshop CS)
    // returns an array with values
    // code by Pekka Saarinen http://photography-on-the.net
    
    ob_start();
    readfile($filename);
    $source = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    
    $xmpdata_start = strpos($source,"<x:xmpmeta");
    $xmpdata_end = strpos($source,"</x:xmpmeta>");
    $xmplenght = $xmpdata_end-$xmpdata_start;
    $xmpdata = substr($source,$xmpdata_start,$xmplenght+12);
    
    $xmp_parsed = array();
    
    $regexps = array(
    array("name" => "DC creator", "regexp" => "/<dc:creator>\s*<rdf:Seq>\s*<rdf:li>.+<\/rdf:li>\s*<\/rdf:Seq>\s*<\/dc:creator>/"),
    array("name" => "TIFF camera model", "regexp" => "/<tiff:Model>.+<\/tiff:Model>/"),
    array("name" => "TIFF maker", "regexp" => "/<tiff:Make>.+<\/tiff:Make>/"),
    array("name" => "EXIF exposure time", "regexp" => "/<exif:ExposureTime>.+<\/exif:ExposureTime>/"),
    array("name" => "EXIF f number", "regexp" => "/<exif:FNumber>.+<\/exif:FNumber>/"),

    array("name" => "EXIF exposure program", "regexp" => "/<exif:ExposureProgram>.+<\/exif:ExposureProgram>/"),
    array("name" => "EXIF iso speed ratings", "regexp" => "/<exif:ISOSpeedRatings>\s*<rdf:Seq>\s*<rdf:li>.+<\/rdf:li>\s*<\/rdf:Seq>\s*<\/exif:ISOSpeedRatings>/"),
    array("name" => "EXIF datetime original", "regexp" => "/<exif:DateTimeOriginal>.+<\/exif:DateTimeOriginal>/"),

    array("name" => "EXIF focal lenght", "regexp" => "/<exif:FocalLength>.+<\/exif:FocalLength>/"),
    array("name" => "AUX lens", "regexp" => "/<aux:Lens>.+<\/aux:Lens>/")
    );
    
    foreach ($regexps as $key => $k) {
            $name         = $k["name"];
            $regexp     = $k["regexp"];
            unset($r);
            preg_match ($regexp, $xmpdata, $r);
            $xmp_item = "";
            $xmp_item = @$r[0];
            array_push($xmp_parsed,array("item" => $name, "value" => $xmp_item));
    }
    
    if ($printout == 1) {
        foreach ($xmp_parsed as $key => $k) {
                $item         = $k["item"];
                $value         = $k["value"];
                print "<br><b>" . $item . ":</b> " . $value;
        }
    }

return ($xmp_parsed);
