Uploading image properties to database

[ryanwood4]

Hi,

 

I'm not 100% sure if this is HTML, PHP or Javascript, but my best guess is PHP.

 

When you upload an image on Facebook, it automatically gathers the data about the image, i.e. size, device used (i.e. Canon, iPhone), title and description. It then outputs this on the page.

 

Is there anyway to do this with PHP, instead of having to type all the information out again and upload that with the photo to a database?

 

Cheers.

Here's the code I use using getimagesize()

 

// Calulate the details of the original
	// define width, height & type - type is stored as a # 1-gif, 2-jpg, 3-png
	list($width,$height,$type) = getimagesize($original); // getimagesize returns 4 elements, list takes the first 3
	// calculate the scaling ratio
	if ($width <= MAX_WIDTH && $height <= MAX_HEIGHT) {
		$ratio = 1;
	} elseif ($width > $height) {
		$ratio = MAX_WIDTH/$width;
	} else {
		$ratio = MAX_HEIGHT/$height;
	}

Thanks. I'll give that a go.

 

However, that might work out the size, but how can I access and output all the data stored in the images properties, i.e. Title, description, tags, device make, model etc???

Does anyone know of any scripts to output the meta data from an image?

 

I've had a look around and I can't see a simple script which displays basic image meta data, such as title, tags, camera used, etc.

 

Thanks.
