php doesn't support exif.

[Absoblogginlutely]

I'm now getting the message "PHP running on your server does not support reading EXIF data in JPEG files, please turn this off on the config page " when previously I didn't used to (with no changes to the (shared) server config that I'm aware of). I've turned it off in the config temporarily and I've checked with my server admin who says exif is on the machine (and he's also downloaded gallery and installed it ok). Any ideas on what I need to double check to see why this is getting the error message?

exif support still is far from perfect on coppermine - there has been a very good thread on this on the old board, but I'm afraid it's lost.
Afaik Tarique knows quite a bit about exif *hint@Tarique :wink: *

ok hint taken

Actually the EXIF support in PHP itself is far from perfect - so what I plan to do it do away with dependence on PHP EXIF module and use the phpExifRW class - Since it is a pure PHP class it will work every time on anyserver...

The only point it - can I do it in time for the next release
