Check a common one like DateTime to see if there might be real exif data in the jpeg. I suppose an extra entry could be added that would be set to true if any exif data is found so I have moved this to a feature request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-17 06:07:12] serge@globalbeach.com Hi Guys, It seems that read_exif_data builds certain fields like FileName, FileDateTime, FileSize etc .. even when no real EXIF data exists. So read_exif_data will always return something....! This makes it a pain to test for the presence of actual EXIF data cause I have to do something like this: $exif_data = @read_exif_data($upload); if (isset ($exif_data['CameraMake'])) { Not very bullet proof .... Would be nice if it would not return anything without the presence of actual EXIF data. Thanks, Serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=6787&edit=1
