teng84 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 you can also use file_get_contents http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php see related topic there Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64784-extracting-metadata-using-php/#findComment-323192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootsanders Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 you can also use file_get_contents http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php see related topic there So I attempted to use this method and I got random code like this, "!©ªâêzhÌsù¼,˜Ie×kk‰". How can I specify or parse out the metadata that I would need? Thanks!
