    exif_read_data — Lee las cabeceras EXIF desde un JPEG o un TIFF

    Descripción

    exif_read_data(
        string $filename,
        string $sections = null,
        bool $arrays = false,
        bool $thumbnail = false
    ): array

    exif_read_data() lee las cabeceras EXIF desde un archivo de imagen JPEG o TIFF. De esta forma se puede leer los meta-datos generados por cámaras digitales.

    Las cabeceras EXIF tienden a estar presentes en imágenes JPEG/TIFF generadas por cámaras digitales, pero desafortunadamente cada fabricante de cámaras digitales tiene una idea diferente de cómo etiquetar sus imágenes, por lo que no siempre se puede contar con que una cabecera Exif específica esté presente.

    Height y Width son computados de la misma forma que lo hace getimagesize() por lo que sus valores no deben ser parte de ninguna cabecera devuelta. También, html es una cadena de texto de alto/ancho para usar dentro de un HTML normal.

    Cuando una cabecera Exif contiene una nota de Copyright, puede contener ella misma dos valores. Como la solución es inconsistente en el estándar Exif 2.10, la sección COMPUTED devolverá las dos entradas Copyright.Photographer y Copyright.Editor mientras que las secciones IFD0 contienen la matriz de bytes con el carácter NULL que divide ambas entradas. O sólo la primera entrada si el tipo de información era erróneo (el comportamiento normal de Exif). COMPUTED también contendrá la entrada Copyright que es la cadena del copyright original, o una lista separada por comas del copyright de la fotografía y del editor.

    La etiqueta UserComment tiene el mismo problema que la etiqueta Copyright. Puede almacenar dos valores. El primero es el que usa la codificación, y el segundo es el valor mismo. Por lo que si la sección IFD sólo contiene la codificación o una matriz de bytes, la sección COMPUTED almacenará la dos entradas UserCommentEncoding y UserComment. La entrada UserComment está disponible en ambos casos por lo que se debería usar con preferencia al valor de la sección IFD0.

    exif_read_data() también valida las etiquetas de información EXIF según la especifiación EXIF (» http://exif.org/Exif2-2.PDF, página 20).

    Nota:

    Windows Me/XP pueden borrar las cabeceras Exif cuando se conecta una cámara.

    Parámetros

    filename

    El nombre de la imagen que se va a leer. No puede ser una URL.

    sections

    Es una lista separada por comas de las secciones que necesitan estar presentes en el archivo para producir un array resultante. Si no se puede encontrar ninguna sección el valor devuelto es false.

    FILE FileName, FileSize, FileDateTime, SectionsFound
    COMPUTED html, Width, Height, IsColor, y más si están disponibles. Height y Width son computados de la misma forma que lo hace getimagesize() por lo que sus valores no deben ser parte de ninguna cabecera devuelta. También, html es una cadena de texto de alto/ancho para usar dentro de un HTML normal.
    ANY_TAG Cualquier información que tenga una Etiqueta, p.ej., IFD0, EXIF, ...
    IFD0 Toda la información etiquetada de IFD0. En archivos de imagen normales, ésto contiene el tamaño de la imagen y así sucesivamente.
    THUMBNAIL Se supone que un archivo contiene una miniatura si tiene un segundo IFD. Toda la información etiquetada acerca de la miniatura embebida es almacenada en esta sección.
    COMMENT Cabeceras de comentarios de imágenes JPEG.
    EXIF La sección EXIF es una subsección de IFD0. Contiene información más detallada sobre la imagen. La mayoría de estas entradas están relacionadas con la cámara digital.

    arrays

    Especifica si cada sección se convierte o no en una matriz. sections COMPUTED, THUMBNAIL, y COMMENT siempre se convierten en matrices ya que pueden contener valores cuyos nombres entran en conflicto con otras secciones.

    thumbnail

    Cuando se establece a true se lee la miniatura misma. Si no, sólo se lee la información etiquetada.

    Valores devueltos

    Devuelve un array asociativo donde los índices de la matriz son los nombres de las cabeceras y los valores de la matriz son los valores asociados con esas cabeceras. Si no se puede devolver información, exif_read_data() devolverá false.

    Historial de cambios

    Versión Descripción
    4.3.0 Se puede leer toda la información IFD embebida incluidas matrices (devueltas como tales). También, el tamaño de una miniatura embebida es devuelto en una submatriz THUMBNAIL, y puede devolver miniaturas en formato TIFF. Además, ya no hay una longitud máxima para los valores devueltos (no mientras el límite de memoria haya sido alcanzado)
    4.3.0 Si PHP tiene soporte para mbstring, el comentario de usuario puede cambiar automáticamente de codificación. También, si el comentario de usuario utiliza la codificación Unicode o JIS, esta codificación será cambiada automáticamente según la configuración inicial de exif en php.ini
    4.3.0 Si la imagen contiene cualquier información IFD0, entonces COMPUTED contiene la entrada ByteOrderMotorola la cuál es 0 para el orden de byte little-endian (intel) y 1 para el orden de byte big-endian (motorola). También, COMPUTED y UserComment ya no contienen la primera entrada de copyright si el tipo de información era erróneo.

    Ejemplos

    Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de exif_read_data()

    <?php
    echo "prueba1.jpg:<br />\n";
    $exif = exif_read_data('pruebas/prueba1.jpg', 'IFD0');
    echo     $exif===false ? "No se encontró información de cabecera.<br />\n" : "La imagen contiene cabeceras<br />\n";

    $exif = exif_read_data('pruebas/prueba2.jpg', 0, true);
    echo     "prueba2.jpg:<br />\n";
    foreach (    $exif as $clave => $sección) {
    foreach (    $sección as $nombre => $valor) {
    echo     "$clave.$nombre: $valor<br />\n";
    }
    }
    ?>

    La primera llamada falla ya que la imagen no tiene información de cabecera.

    El resultado del ejemplo sería algo similar a:

    test1.jpg:
No header data found.
test2.jpg:
FILE.FileName: test2.jpg
FILE.FileDateTime: 1017666176

    When the new update came out from Apple for iOS6 it provided the ability for iPad, iPod, and iPhones to be able to upload files from the device through Safari. Obviously this will open up an array of implementations where at one point it was just not possible.

    The issue comes when a photo is uploaded it will be dependent on the location of the "button" when the photo was taken. Imagine if you will that you have your iPhone turned with the button at the top and you take a photo. The photo when uploaded to your server might be "upside down".

    The following code will ensure that all uploaded photos will be oriented correctly upon upload:
    <?php
    $image     = imagecreatefromstring(file_get_contents($_FILES['image_upload']['tmp_name']));
    $exif = exif_read_data($_FILES['image_upload']['tmp_name']);
    if(!empty(    $exif['Orientation'])) {
    switch(    $exif['Orientation']) {
    case     8:
    $image = imagerotate($image,90,0);
    break;
    case     3:
    $image = imagerotate($image,180,0);
    break;
    case     6:
    $image = imagerotate($image,-90,0);
    break;
    }
    }
    // $image now contains a resource with the image oriented correctly
    ?>

    What you do with the image resource from there is entirely up to you.

    I hope that this helps you identify and orient any image that's uploaded from an iPad, iPhone, or iPod. Orientation for the photo is the key to knowing how to rotate it correctly.

    The following code:
    <?php
    $data     = exif_read_data('foo.jpg');
    var_dump($data['Keywords']);
    ?>
    produces string(15) "???????????????"

    Adding
    <?php
    ini_set    ('exif.decode_unicode_motorola', 'UCS-2LE');
    ?>
    before the call to exif_red_data produces
    string(15) "landscape;;field"

    I wanted some quick and easy functions for computing the shutter speed and f-stop. I couldn't find any anywhere, so I made some. It took some research :

    <?php
    function exif_get_float($value) {
    $pos = strpos($value, '/');
    if (    $pos === false) return (float) $value;
    $a = (float) substr($value, 0, $pos);
    $b = (float) substr($value, $pos+1);
    return (    $b == 0) ? ($a) : ($a / $b);
    }

    function     exif_get_shutter(&$exif) {
    if (!isset(    $exif['ShutterSpeedValue'])) return false;
    $apex = exif_get_float($exif['ShutterSpeedValue']);
    $shutter = pow(2, -$apex);
    if (    $shutter == 0) return false;
    if (    $shutter >= 1) return round($shutter) . 's';
    return     '1/' . round(1 / $shutter) . 's';
    }

    function     exif_get_fstop(&$exif) {
    if (!isset(    $exif['ApertureValue'])) return false;
    $apex = exif_get_float($exif['ApertureValue']);
    $fstop = pow(2, $apex/2);
    if (    $fstop == 0) return false;
    return     'f/' . round($fstop,1);
    }
    ?>

    The example provided for displaying exif array content is not working in recent version because not all entry values are of array type.

    This is an alternative echo loop:

    <?php
    echo "test1.jpg:<br />\n";
    $exif = exif_read_data('tests/test1.jpg', 'IFD0');
    echo     $exif===false ? "No header data found.<br />\n" : "Image contains headers<br />\n";

    $exif = exif_read_data('tests/test2.jpg', 0, true);
    echo     "test2.jpg:<br />\n";
    foreach (    $exif as $key => $section) {

    if (!    is_array ($section)) {
    echo     "$key: $section<br />\n";
    } else {
    foreach (    $section as $name => $val) {
    echo     "$key.$name: $val<br />\n";
    }
    }

    }

    Please note that when resizing images with GD and most image processing scripts or applications you will loose the EXIF information. What I did as a workaround is book this information into MySQL before I re-size images.

    <?php

    // This function is used to determine the camera details for a specific image. It returns an array with the parameters.
    function cameraUsed($imagePath) {

    // Check if the variable is set and if the file itself exists before continuing
    if ((isset($imagePath)) and (file_exists($imagePath))) {

    // There are 2 arrays which contains the information we are after, so it's easier to state them both
    $exif_ifd0 = read_exif_data($imagePath ,'IFD0' ,0);
    $exif_exif = read_exif_data($imagePath ,'EXIF' ,0);

    //error control
    $notFound = "Unavailable";

    // Make
    if (@array_key_exists('Make', $exif_ifd0)) {
    $camMake = $exif_ifd0['Make'];
    } else {     $camMake = $notFound; }

    // Model
    if (@array_key_exists('Model', $exif_ifd0)) {
    $camModel = $exif_ifd0['Model'];
    } else {     $camModel = $notFound; }

    // Exposure
    if (@array_key_exists('ExposureTime', $exif_ifd0)) {
    $camExposure = $exif_ifd0['ExposureTime'];
    } else {     $camExposure = $notFound; }

    // Aperture
    if (@array_key_exists('ApertureFNumber', $exif_ifd0['COMPUTED'])) {
    $camAperture = $exif_ifd0['COMPUTED']['ApertureFNumber'];
    } else {     $camAperture = $notFound; }

    // Date
    if (@array_key_exists('DateTime', $exif_ifd0)) {
    $camDate = $exif_ifd0['DateTime'];
    } else {     $camDate = $notFound; }

    // ISO
    if (@array_key_exists('ISOSpeedRatings',$exif_exif)) {
    $camIso = $exif_exif['ISOSpeedRatings'];
    } else {     $camIso = $notFound; }

    $return = array();
    $return['make'] = $camMake;
    $return['model'] = $camModel;
    $return['exposure'] = $camExposure;
    $return['aperture'] = $camAperture;
    $return['date'] = $camDate;
    $return['iso'] = $camIso;
    return     $return;

    } else {
    return     false;
    }
    }

    ?>

    An example of it's use follows:

    <?php

    $camera     = cameraUsed("/img/myphoto.jpg");
    echo     "Camera Used: " . $camera['make'] . " " . $camera['model'] . "<br />";
    echo     "Exposure Time: " . $camera['exposure'] . "<br />";
    echo     "Aperture: " . $camera['aperture'] . "<br />";
    echo     "ISO: " . $camera['iso'] . "<br />";
    echo     "Date Taken: " . $camera['date'] . "<br />";

    ?>

    Will display the following, depending on the data:

    Camera Used: SONY DSC-S930
    Exposure Time: 1/400
    Aperture: f/4.3
    ISO: 100
    Date Taken: 2010:12:10 18:18:45

    If the image has been re-sized and the information is no longer available then you should receive the following when echoing the same:

    Camera Used: Unavailable
    Exposure Time: Unavailable
    Aperture: Unavailable
    ISO: Unavailable
    Date Taken: Unavailable

    Some cameras do not capture all the information, for instance Blackberry phones do not record an aperture, or iso and you will get Unavailable for those fields.

    I hope you find this helpful.

    some cameras (most higher models) have position senzor (gyroskope?) and taking-position is wrote in EXIF, here is simple script for automatic rotating images

    <?php
    $exif     = exif_read_data($filename);
    $ort = $exif['IFD0']['Orientation'];
    switch(    $ort)
    {
    case     1: // nothing
    break;

    case     2: // horizontal flip
    $image->flipImage($public,1);
    break;

    case     3: // 180 rotate left
    $image->rotateImage($public,180);
    break;

    case     4: // vertical flip
    $image->flipImage($public,2);
    break;

    case     5: // vertical flip + 90 rotate right
    $image->flipImage($public, 2);
    $image->rotateImage($public, -90);
    break;

    case     6: // 90 rotate right
    $image->rotateImage($public, -90);
    break;

    case     7: // horizontal flip + 90 rotate right
    $image->flipImage($public,1);
    $image->rotateImage($public, -90);
    break;

    case     8: // 90 rotate left
    $image->rotateImage($public, 90);
    break;
    }

    ?>

    $image->rotateImage() is inspired by example of http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagerotate.php
    $image->flipImage() is inspired by http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopy.php#42803 (thank you)

    Problem with "S�o�m�e� �T�e�x�t��" on value(s), exif[IFD0][Title] for example, when they were edited trough windows right click properties and then got read with the read_exif_data() function.
    try:

    $exif_['IFD0']['Title']=mb_convert_encoding($exif_['IFD0']['Title'],"auto","byte2le");

    works on UTF-8 and so.

    //
    // outputs all available character encodings and prints on screen
    // foreach(mb_list_encodings() as $chr)
    // {$test[$chr]=mb_convert_encoding($image[IFD0][Title],'auto',$chr);}
    // exit(print_r($test));

    I was needing to use exif_read_data() to read out the orientation flag, only to find that the webhost didn't have the exif extension available for use. Instead, I hacked up a regex that worked fairly well as a replacement

    <?php
    $orientation     = 1;
    if (    function_exists('exif_read_data')) {
    $exif = exif_read_data($filename);
    if (isset(    $exif['Orientation']))
    $orientation = $exif['Orientation'];
    } else if (    preg_match('@\x12\x01\x03\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00(.)\x00\x00\x00@', file_get_contents($filename), $matches)) {
    $orientation = ord($matches[1]);
    }

    Following up on darkain at darkain dot com script for grabbing the ShutterSpeedValue from exif data...
    @http://php.net/manual/en/function.exif-read-data.php

    I have found that the option shown for ShutterSppedValue, can also be ExposureTime in the exif data.

    Also the code as written provides a WRONG return, as the return is always 1 so you get 1/1sec.

    Here is corrected code, or a version that corrects what is obviously not working after 5 years since it was originally developed::

    Here is the updated version for:: $exif[ExposureTime]

    function exif_get_float($value) {
    $pos = strpos($value, '/');
    if ($pos === false) return (float) $value;
    $a = (float) substr($value, 0, $pos);
    $b = (float) substr($value, $pos+1);
    return ($b == 0) ? ($a) : ($a / $b);
    };

    function exif_get_exposureTime(&$exif) {
    if (!isset($exif['ExposureTime'])) return false;
    $apex = exif_get_float($exif['ExposureTime']);
    $shutter = 1/$apex;
    // above 1 sec exposure time::
    if ($shutter <= 1) return round($apex) . ' seconds';

    return '1/' . round(1 / $apex) . 'sec';
    };

    From - darkain at darkain dot com 's example.

    If all the data is from the same image - simply

    <?php
    $exif_data     = exif_read_data ( $_FILES['photo']

    $emake =$exif_data['Make'];
    $emodel = $exif_data['Model'];
    $eexposuretime = $exif_data['ExposureTime'];
    $efnumber = $exif_data['FNumber'];
    $eiso = $exif_data['ISOSpeedRatings'];
    $edate = $exif_data['DateTime'];
    ?>

    will work, I tried using the PEL library, and while pretty cool, I can't for the life understand how to call some things, this is simpler if your system is pretty basic or if you're in a rush. If you have time, try playing with PEL. It's not maintained at the moment though..

    When reading EXIF information from the 'WINXP' group, you may need to change used encoding from the default "ISO-8859-15" to "UTF-8". This can be done in php.ini or in your code:

    <?php
    ini_set    ('exif.encode_unicode', 'UTF-8');

    $exif = exif_read_data('TEST.JPG', 0, true);
    echo     $exif['WINXP']['Title'];
    ?>

    Useful documentation about EXIF:

    I posted the original version of the function, but after using it for a while I discovered I didn't do enough error checking.

    I have re-factored it somewhat, and it now returns an empty array should it not be able to read the image's exif. If it is able to, it will return the details it was able to retrieve. And this should be without error.

    I am suppressing errors, because if you pass it images which cannot parse, you will get a warning.

    <?php

    # Modified Version of cameraUsed, no longer returns date.
    public function cameraUsed($imagePath)
    {
    # The default empty return
    $return = array(
    'make' => "",
    'model' => "",
    'exposure' => "",
    'aperture' => "",
    'iso' => ""
    );

    // Check if the variable is set and if the file itself exists before continuing
    if ((isset($imagePath)) AND (file_exists($imagePath)))
    {
    // There are 2 arrays which contains the information we are after, so it's easier to state them both
    $exif_ifd0 = @read_exif_data($imagePath ,'IFD0' ,0);
    $exif_exif = @read_exif_data($imagePath ,'EXIF' ,0);

    # Ensure that we actually got some information
    if (($exif_ifd0 !== false) AND ($exif_exif !== false))
    {
    // Make
    if (@array_key_exists('Make', $exif_ifd0))
    {
    $return['make'] = $exif_ifd0['Make'];
    }

    // Model
    if (@array_key_exists('Model', $exif_ifd0))
    {
    $return['model'] = $exif_ifd0['Model'];
    }

    // Exposure
    if (@array_key_exists('ExposureTime', $exif_ifd0))
    {
    $return['exposure'] = $exif_ifd0['ExposureTime'];
    }

    // Aperture
    if (@array_key_exists('ApertureFNumber', $exif_ifd0['COMPUTED']))

    Get some EXIFs fields (easy way):

    <?php
    $exif_make     = exif_read_data ( $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'] ,'IFD0' ,0 );
    $emake = $exif_make['Make'];

    $exif_model = exif_read_data ( $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'] ,'IFD0' ,0 );
    $emodel = $exif_model['Model'];

    $exif_exposuretime = exif_read_data ( $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'] ,'EXIF' ,0 );
    $eexposuretime = $exif_exposuretime['ExposureTime'];

    $exif_fnumber = exif_read_data ( $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'] ,'EXIF' ,0 );
    $efnumber = $exif_fnumber['FNumber'];

    $exif_iso = exif_read_data ( $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'] ,'EXIF' ,0 );
    $eiso = $exif_iso['ISOSpeedRatings'];

    $exif_date = exif_read_data ( $_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'] ,'IFD0' ,0 );
    $edate = $exif_date['DateTime'];

    Using the exif methods to read WINXP data returns unexpected results unless both exif and mbstring are compiled statically. Please reference the following bug reports:

    Bug #31980
    Bug #23105


    Specifically, the last comment on #23105:

    "[8 Apr 2003 4:26pm UTC] edink@php.net

    This cannot be fixed due to the fact that mbstring has been removed from PHP core (it has been 'unbundled') and the rest of core files and other extensions cannot use mbstring functionality when it is compiled as a shared library (dll).
    "

    If exif is compiled statically (--enable-exif) and mbstring compiled as a DSO module (--enable-mbstring=shared) then exif_read_data may only return a single character rather than the entire string.

    Compiling both exif and mbstring statically (--enable-exif --enable-mbstring) resolves the issue.

    Photos processed in Picasa often contain garbage data in the "MAKERNOTE" section and under EXIF.MakerNote, (UTF8) like:

    [MakerNote] => r0~Þæ"î2OÔy  e §…b! ) ) EI "ÐÓ
    #s &0{ 'Û (å -Ð`ÿÿ@ÿÿÿìE è€Ýÿÿ  ÿÿÿÿÿÿx "ú»Dóÿ H ?.}BúIMG:DIGITAL IXUS 100 IS JPEGFirmware Version 1.00s›xÇØÿÿÿ–l¥ÿÿÿ  ØÌÌxŒ ÿÿÌÌŸãÿÿÿ¼Ž(½ (½T‹U’‹d–~Ø“¥ÿÿÿ ÀÿœªãjáÀpgaXfaWb[Te«

    This can't be written to Blob in MySql. The following code removes the garbage tags.

    $exif = exif_read_data($process_photo, 0, 'EXIF');

    if($exif['IFD0']['Software'] == "Picasa"){

    foreach ($exif as $key => $section){

    if($key != "MAKERNOTE"){
    foreach ($section as $name => $val){
    if($name != 'MakerNote'){
    $exifA[$key][$name] = $val;
    }
    }
    $exifB[$key] = $exifA[$key];
    }
    }
    $serialized_exif = serialize ($exifB);
    }else{
    $serialized_exif = serialize ($exif);
    }
