PHP Exif Library in short PEL is a library that let's you manipulate Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format) data. This is the data that digital cameras place in their images, such as the date and time, shutter speed, ISO value and so on.
Using PEL, one can fully modify the Exif data, meaning that it can be both read and written. PEL is written completely in PHP and depends on nothing except a standard installation of PHP, version 5, which was released on July 13th 2004.
Here are some key features of "PHP Exif Library":
Reads and parses both JPEG and TIFF images.
Supports reading and writing all Exif tags.
Supports internationalisation.
Extensible object-oriented design. PEL utilizes the new features in PHP 5.
Tested with SimpleTest (11 camera models tested, plus core tests).
Fully documented with PhpDocumentor, see the online API documentation.
Requirements:
PHP (Version 5 branch)
PhpDocumentor
SimpleTest
What's New in This Release:
Added full support for GPS information (this breaks API compatibility with version 0.8), JPEG comments, the Gamma tag, and Windows XP specific title, comment, author, keywords, and subject tags. Implemented a non-strict mode for broken images where most errors wont result in visible exceptions. The edit-description.php example now correctly deals with images with no previous Exif data. A partial Polish translation was added. The API documentation was updated with details about the constrains on format and number of components for each tag.
