I was wondering about that. Since I am not actually hosting my ISP would
have to have it loaded (or compiled into their PHP implementation), right?
I'll have to do some legwork with my ISP and ImageMagic

I have written a lightweight, easy to use photo album "system" in
HTML/PHP/MySQL.In addition to the Photo Album side I have written a
series of Admin Utilities to manage it with. One of the administrative
utilities uploads photos from my local drive, resizes them to be more
efficient on disk space, creates thumbnails and populates the database
with as much "default" data as can be deduced.
After all of this was written, I decided to see if I could pull EXIF
data to supply some of the technical data for the DB. To my surprise,
the only EXIF data in the JPEG files was data in the File, Computed and
Comments sections.
Why don't the gd utilities retain the original EXIF data? Is there any
way to do so? I use the following gd utilities to resize and create the
new JPEG image files:
imagecreatefromjpeg
imagesx
imagesy
imagercreatetruecolor
imagecopyresized
imagejpeg
This is a known shortcoming of the GD library. You won't have that issue with ImageMagick: http://php.net/book.imagick
