#31980 [Csd]: Unable to Extract Windows XP EXIF Information

ID: 31980 User updated by: sdteffen at gmail dot com Reported By: sdteffen at gmail dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: EXIF related Operating System: win32 only PHP Version: 4CVS, 5CVS (2005-02-15) Assigned To: edink New Comment: Thanks for the quick fix. However, it looks like php_exif.dll is missing from the snapshot zip file. I checked http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-200502161330.zip and http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_STABLE/ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-16 11:00:26] edink@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-15 13:52:58] sniper@php.net Assigning to our win32 build guru.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-15 13:48:00] sniper@php.net Nevermind, in windows the EXIF module isn't compiled with MBSTRING support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-15 12:22:01] sdteffen at gmail dot com Thanks for the comments. 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
