Re: IPTC image comments utility

OK this looks like the thing: http://multipart-mixed.com/photo/iptc.html It's a perl module. Can I use that in PHP? Paul Furman wrote:

Does anyone know of a utility for WRITING or at least reading IPTC data in images with PHP? I found lots of EXIF utilities and did an experimental thing with that. PHP even has a built in EXIF reader but the only IPTC utilities I've found are expensive ActiveX or Delphi components and I don't even know if those could be operated by PHP. THe one I used worked at a command line & I just did a shell command with a constructed syntax.
