I have been applying the fix I described originally every time I upgrade php and it works very well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-06 11:45:32] deemoos at live dot nl Why is there no fix included in new PHP versions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-22 10:15:42] hello at wentsch dot me Thanks for your patch, took me a while to figure out it's a problem with the EXIF produced by my camera, which is a Fujifilm X10 fyi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-08 19:42:41] ianbeckett dot 0405 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ EXIF data from certain cameras is not read correctly by exif_read_data(), it fails part way through with the error "Corrupt EXIF header: maximum directory nesting level reached". My camera is a Fujifilm F770EXR and the two links below are additional reports of the same problem with Fujifilm cameras. I don't know if any other makes are affected. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11584238/php-corrupt-exif-data-error-with-fulifilm-photos http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10075066/issues-extracting-exif-data-for-exif-2-3-using-php-version-5-2-9 I think the problem is due to the amount of extra tags Fujifilm include, causing the code in exif.c to think the header is corrupt before it finishes reading it all. I think it can be fixed by increasing the value of MAX_IFD_NESTING_LEVEL defined in ext/exif/exif.c. I used a value of 200 and it appears to have resolved the problem on my installation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66443&edit=1
