Date picture taken?

[pizzy]

Has anyone been able to get the "Date Picture Taken" summary info from
a jpg file? This info is provided in WinXP (and maybe other OS) when
you click properties, summary, advance for a jpeg file.

PHP has the filectime, filemtime, and fileatime; but I looking for the
orginal date the picture was taken. Sometimes we modify the picture
size and this causes the created, access, and modified times to change.


Any ideas?

There is an exif extension

I ended up installing some exif utils. I don't remember the exactly what
I used, but check these out:

Integrity is obvious.
The lack of it is common.

This looks like it's going to work. Appreciates.
