Help with exiftool

[php_starter]

Hello,

I`m new in this and I`m trying to use exiftool to read metadata from jpeg files and edit them than save the new data to the same jpeg file.
I tried to search the web but I could not find an easy and simple tutorial how to work with exiftool for php (I have the exiftool library).
How do I add the library? How do I get the data into an array (for example)? How do I save it to the same file?

HELP! please.
Thank you

Did you see the PHP wrapper for ExifTool, linked from the Programming Resources section of the home page?  I'm not sure how complete this library is, but it is a place to start.

Hi,
Thanks for reply. I saw it and download it but could not make it work.
Any easy simple tutorials about it?

Looking at the files on GitHub, I see some tests that may provide examples.  But whoa, the code in AbstractWriterTest looks very complex, whereas the ExifTool Perl API is very simple.

I don`t work with perl, I need to make it work with PHP.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Any PHP programmers out there?

Hello,

I have another question:
I need it to run in linux, Can I use the same command file as windows?
How do I use it on linux?

Thanks

I don't know what you mean by command file, but the exiftool commands are generally the same in Linux and Windows, except that  the quotes you need to use may be different.
