Retrieves the EXIF metadata aperture, credit, camera, caption, copyright, iso created_timestamp, focal_length, shutter_speed, and title.
The IPTC metadata that is retrieved is APP13, credit, byline, created date and time, caption, copyright, and title. Also includes FNumber, Model, DateTimeDigitized, FocalLength, ISOSpeedRatings, and ExposureTime.
Parameters
- $file
-
(string) (Required)
Return
(bool|array) False on failure. Image metadata array on success.
Additional note to Return
The elements returned in the array are:
["aperture"]
(string) Set to the EXIF FNumber field.
["credit"]
(string) Set to the first non-empty value found by looking through the following fields:
- IPTC Credit field (2#110)
- IPTC Creator field (2#080)
- EXIF Artist field
- EXIF Author field
["camera"]
(string) Set to the EXIF Model field.
["caption"]
(string) Set to a non-empty value of one of the following fields (see source code for the precise logic involved):
- IPTC Description field (2#120)
- EXIF UserComment field if [“title”] is unset AND EXIF:ImageDescription is less than 80 characters
- EXIF ImageDescription field if [“title”] is set OR EXIF:ImageDescription is more than 80 characters
- EXIF Comments field if [“title”] does not equal EXIF:Comments
["created_timestamp"]
(string) Set to the first non-empty value found by looking through the following fields:
- EXIF field DateTimeDigitized
- IPTC Date and Time fields (2#055 and 2#060)
["copyright"]
(string) Set to the first non-empty value found by looking through the following fields:
- IPTC Copyright field (2#116)
- EXIF Copyright field
["focal_length"]
(string) Set to the EXIF FocalLength field.
["iso"]
(string) Set to the EXIF ISOSpeedRatings field.
["shutter_speed"]
(string) Set to the EXIF ExposureTime field.
["title"]
(string) Set to the first non-empty value found by looking through the following fields:
- IPTC Headline field (2#105)
- IPTC Title field (2#005)
- IPTC Description field (2#120) but only if less than 80 characters
- EXIF Title field
- EXIF ImageDescription field but only if less than 80 characters
The (2#nnn) value shown after each IPTC field (above) is the key of the array returned by PHP’s iptcparse function for that particular IPTC field.
