Hi Mitch, you could try with http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exif-read-data.php I did a test with image jpg and this was the result: FILE . FileName: bruce_lee_black_white.jpg<br/> FILE . FileDateTime: 1304086298<br/> FILE . FileSize: 33464<br/> FILE . FileType: 2<br/> FILE . MimeType: image/jpeg<br/> FILE . SectionsFound: COMMENT<br/> COMPUTED . html: width="353" height="450"<br/> COMPUTED . Height: 450<br/> COMPUTED . Width: 353<br/> COMPUTED . IsColor: 1<br/> COMMENT . 0: LEAD Technologies Inc. V1.01<br/> Anyway taking account *EXIF headers tend to be present in JPEG/TIFF images generated by digital cameras, but unfortunately each digital camera maker has a different idea of how to actually tag their images, so you can't always rely on a specific Exif header being present. * Regards. Gerardo.
