I want to put exiftool on my website so that I can do miscellaneous things like rotate images, etc from php scripts. I, um, don't know what to do... ??? Is it possible to put it into a directory on my iPage server and rotate and update the exif or am I just way off on my thinking? To be exact what I really want to do is check the exif orientation, rotate to THAT orientation and finally write a "1" into the exif orientation. But to have it available online would surely lead to me using it for some of my other webpages as well. I already know how to do a few simple, novice type things with the exiftool running on my computer but seeing all this talk about php and all has got me hoping I can run it online. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Certainly ExifTool may be called by cgi scripts running on a web server. Here is one implementation of this for reading metadata (http://regex.info/exif.cgi).
