EXIF Data for Simple PHP Gallery!
I finally got around to adding some EXIF functionality to the photo gallery. It turned out that I could not do my own custom solution because some functions were not available to me. However, I found a neat PHP application called The PHP JPEG Metadata Toolkit that helped do the trick. When you are looking through the gallery, if you go to a specific photo you will notice a new link that says “EXIF Data.” The link will open in a new window, and it shows you all of the EXIF data contained within the image. This way you can see what camera settings I used to take the pictures, as well as some other info.

how did you get the EXIF data in simplephpgallery ?
I did a search for the PHP JPEG Metadata Toolkit, but for the life of me could I figure out where to put the scripts or what. Could you help a newbie out?
Thanks!!

oh, sorry… it’s been a while since i’ve looked through this.. i hope i wrote you an email about this problem…. it’s also been a while since i’ve messed with Simple PHP Gallery.. but if i remember correctly, i think i just dumped the Toolkit into it’s own directory.. i think it can work more-or-less standalone…. if there are example scripts included in the zip, i may have used those as a starting point… honestly, i really didn’t customize much of the output at all.. just made a link from the image page that said “Click here to view EXIF data,” and that would open the default Toolkit example (with the image path passed as a GET parameter, i think)….. chances are you’re not even using SPG anymore, and i’m very sorry for the delay of over a year!
