I've updated my code according to Pierre's suggestion: ini_set('exif.decode_unicode_intel', 'UCS-2LE'); ini_set('exif.encode_unicode','ISO-8859-1'); ini_set('exif.encode_jis','ISO-8859-1'); ini_set('exif.decode_jis_intel','ISO-8859-1'); $arrComment = exif_read_data('1.jpg', 'WINXP', true); The problem still exists (Only first letter is returned). Here's the example file: http://sdteffen.de/1.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-15 10:19:19] pajoye@php.net > The constant EXIF_USE_MBSTRING is 0 - isn't this a > contradiction with the PHP Manual that says > "Windows users must also have the mbstring > extension enabled"? Loading the mbstring extension is one of the requirement, another is to specify the encoding (See http://de.php.net/exif) using either php.ini or ini_set. If the problem remains, please provide a link to the image as requested by Sniper. --Pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-15 10:11:26] sniper@php.net Put that image file somewhere where we can download it and try ourselves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
