[Solved]: EXIF info

[FreeMail]

hi!

what version of PHP does my server have to be, to be able to run EXIF on my CPG?

TIA!

[Bill_S]

Looks like v4.2.0 or greater is required:

our server is running version 4.3.4 but i'm getting this error message.  :roll:

PHP running on your server does not support reading EXIF data in JPEG files, please turn this off on the config page

It needs to be compiled in using the option --enable-exif .

thanks for the reply!  you mean  i have to ask my host to enable it?

[Nibbler]

I think your host will have to recompile php with EXIF support for you, but im not really an expert on server setup.

ok thanks for the info!  will ask our host to enable the EXIF option.

I guess your webhost will be reluctant to re-compile php for you; try the new beta (cpg1.3.0) - it comes with exif support even if it isn't enabled on your server...

62 posts hardly makes you a newbie  :wink:

But a newbie should be able to do it.
Just download the zip, and follow the instructions in the docs folder.  It's really easy.
