exiftool -php -q image.jpg can't return anything

[brentsu]

ExifTool 9.99 - 10.0.6 use this example program, can't return anything! nothing in the $array! Only ExifTool 9.98 can do very well.

    <?php
    eval('$array=' . `exiftool -php -q image.jpg`);
    print_r($array);
    ?>

Use system : OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

I'm afraid you have to be more specific.

This works fine for me using ExifTool 10.06 on all of the images in the t/images directory of the full distribution.  What is the output of "exiftool -php image.jpg" for your image?

Hi, Phill

my image output is PHP of the $array

I reinstall ExifTool 9.98 again. and use the standard example PHP program.



And then upgrade to the latest version ExifTool 10.06. same example PHP program, Just reload Safari web page only.



You can see it get nothing!

Can you run the command on the command line, directly, instead of via php?
What is the output then?

[Phil Harvey]

It looks like the -php output is OK with the exception that everything is strung into one long line.  It would have been better if you posted the output as an attachment.  ie) use this command:

exiftool -php image.jpg > out.txt

and attach out.txt to your post.

Hello Hayo Baan and Phil,

EXIF looks exactly the same content! Not the same place is :

"ExifToolVersion" => 9.98,
"ExifToolVersion" => 10.06,

  "FileAccessDate" => "2015:11:28 00:29:18+09:00",
  "FileInodeChangeDate" => "2015:11:28 00:29:17+09:00",
  "FileAccessDate" => "2015:11:27 08:01:12+09:00",
  "FileInodeChangeDate" => "2015:11:27 07:14:41+09:00",

[Phil Harvey]

Yes, the -php output files for 9.98 and 10.06 are identical except for the ExifTool version number and the file access dates.  So whatever problem you are having is due to something else, and not the ExifTool update.

I just updated the ExifTool program, not doing any thing other and something else!
