EXIF and IPTC - reads data from JPEG

[infoseekar]

Does anyone know what's the right code to read IPTC metadata.

I have the code to read EXIF metadata and it gives me alot of information which I don't need. How do I modify this code so it only give the information i required.

EXIF inout code

[code=php]

<?php
$path="image.jp eg";
$exif = exif_read_data( $path, 0, true);
echo "$path:<br />\n";
foreach ($exif as $key => $section) {
foreach ($section as $name => $val) {
echo "$key.$name : $val<br />\n";
}
}
?>

[/code]

EXIF output - when this code was fire it produce the following output.

hp.jpg: //file name
FILE.FileName: hp.jpg
FILE.FileDateTime: 1171878580
FILE.FileSize: 5705
FILE.FileType: 2
FILE.MimeType: image/jpeg
FILE.SectionsFound: APP12
COMPUTED.html: width="170" height="190"
COMPUTED.Height: 190
COMPUTED.Width: 170
COMPUTED.IsColor: 1
APP12.Company: Ducky
APP12.Info: 

thanks

Just set the keys that you want to print in an array and check that before echoeing the key and value:[php]$okay=array('FI LE.FileType', 'FILE.MimeType' , 'COMPUTED.html' );
foreach ($exif as $key => $section) {
foreach ($section as $name => $val) {
if (in_array($name , $okay))
echo "$key.$name : $val<br />\n";
}
}

Nothing was appreared on the display, except the file name.

[code=php]

<?php
$path="image.jp eg";
$exif = exif_read_data( $path, 0, true);
echo "$path:<br />\n";

$okay=array('FI LE.FileType', 'FILE.MimeType' , 'COMPUTED.html' );
foreach ($exif as $key => $section) {
foreach ($section as $name => $val) {
if (in_array($name , $okay))
echo "$key.$name : $val<br />\n";
}
}
?>

[/code]

what about if I use extract function then echo the array (ie echo "$FILE.FileName ")

thanks
