PHP 4.0 Bug #6787 Updated: read_exif_data returns data even without real exif date

ID: 6787 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: serge@globalbeach.com Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: That's because some of this information is derived and not picked out of the exif header. 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. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=6787
