image rotation

[Barand]

If the exif data is the same you must be getting it from the same file.

Try getting the exif data from the rotated file.

Yes, I understand that.

But shouldn't calling the EXIF again after the script is ended bring up the new information?  I even tried to re-run the function as function newInfo, but it pulled the same data.

[Barand]

You start with FileA. You rotate it and store it in FileB.

If you now output the exif data for FileA then of course it's the same. You need to get the exif from FileB to see changes (but there won't be much exif data there)

[phppup]

I know there won't be much there, but seeing the change will confirm effectiveness.

I am starting with File A and altering it and overwriting it as File A again.  What do I need to do to capture the EXIF from the edited version?

How do I get it to grab the data aknew?

[phppup]

Tried this

   $filename2 = $imagePath;  $exif2 = exif_read_data($filename2);
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($exif2);
    echo "</pre>";

but NO RESULT.

Then it sounds like your rotation function is the same as you posted earlier - yes?

$filename = '/images/myphoto.jpg';

$exif = exif_read_data($filesname);
echo '<pre>BEFORE: ' . print_r($exif, 1) . '</pre>';

correctImageOrientation($filename);

$exif = exif_read_data($filesname);
echo '<pre>AFTER: ' . print_r($exif, 1) . '</pre>';

 

[phppup]

Correct, it is.

[phppup]

Do I need to run the function (or a derivative of it) again?  Is there a way to clear the exif_read_data($filesname) do that it grabs in fresh?

[Barand]

I gave you the code to show the before and after exif data. How much of clue do you need?

[phppup]

I thought so but I got the same result.  I guess I missed re-running the script.  Thanks

PS: Like i said, CLEARLY one of those weeks.

It's a simple enough process

• Get exif data from the original image and print it
• Rotate the image
• Get the exif data from the rotated image and print it

What in there is so difficult?
