spruce18b Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I have several images created with a Kodak electronic camera and my iPhone. All images are displayed with the correct orientation (portrait or landscape) in the HTML code. The HTML code is wrapped inside a brief PHP code to enable password entry, and the PHP code is uploaded to my Web site along with the images. I have examined the images on my Web site using Web browsers in Windows 10 and Apple MacBook Air. The orientation is incorrect for at least one of the images in each browser -- Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Although a majority of the images are oriented correctly, incorrect rotation occurs for some of the phone and Kodak images. I shall provide more information to anyone who can provide me with help and suggestions, which will be much appreciated.

requinix Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 How are you uploading these images to your website? Is there any image processing happen? What and why?

spruce18b Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 I used FileZilla but I am switching to the trial version of the Ipswitch-Progress WS_FTP. I doubt that there is any processing along the way.

requinix Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Unless you are somehow processing those images, PHP isn't doing anything. In fact if you're linking to the images directly then PHP really isn't doing anything. The fact that the images are displayed using HTML that was outputted through PHP is completely irrelevant. The orientation is controlled by EXIF data. It acts as a suggestion to things displaying the image, informing them of how the image is intended to be displayed. When you see the image oriented incorrectly, that's the actual image. So my advice is to not use EXIF data. Before you upload those images, load them into some image editor and have it fix the orientation for you. Most editors are capable of this - some even prompt you about it when you first open the image.

spruce18b Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 The images are rotated with IrfanView for Windows, Version 4.53. I save them with "Keep original EXIF data (if JPD to JPG)" unchecked. I upload the images with Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional. The thumbnail view of the images show their correct orientation on both the local hard drive on my Windows 10 laptop and their destinationon my Web site. I appreciate your comment that PHP delivers exactly what it is given to deliver. However, that doesn't explain why some of the images are incorrectly rotated on some of the browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome). Is there no code that can be inserted into the PHP code to force the correct rotation? I am a novice PHPer, so I don't know what to do. I encountered a problem uploading the PHP code for your advice, but here is a chunk from it.

Thanks for your help Browsers do not decide to rotate images for no reason, but they may decide to not rotate an image. If you see an image rotated in one place and not another then that's because of what I said earlier: On 7/4/2020 at 10:51 PM, requinix said: The orientation is controlled by EXIF data.

Can you upload here one of the problematic images?
