If one is starting to use PHP reading the manual is the LAST place to start, but there is not a good alternative to direct people to. Most tutorials are simply last in old style practices! Abdul ... A useful little trick is print_r($exif); This will show just what has been returned by exif_read ... which is an multi level array of data. foreach simply scans the array converting each element of the array - in this case creating a copy of an element in $section, but $section is an array itself so the second foreach pulls out the values. Now hopefully reading the manual will make a little more sense :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
