How to use PHP and Exif extensions to read the exposure program of a photo

Photography enthusiasts often encounter a situation where they do not know what the exposure program of a photo is. In modern cameras, the photo's exposure program information is usually stored in the photo's Exif data. This article will introduce how to use PHP and the Exif extension to read the exposure program of the photo.

First, we need to ensure that the PHP Exif extension is installed on the server. You can check whether the Exif extension has been installed by running the following command in the terminal:

php -r 'if (function_exists("exif_read_data")) echo "Exif扩展已安装。
"; else echo "Exif扩展未安装。
";'

If "Exif extension installed" is displayed, the Exif extension has been successfully installed; otherwise, you need to install the extension.

Next, we will write PHP code to read the exposure program of the photo. The following is a sample code:

<?php
// 定义照片文件路径
$photoPath = "path/to/your/photo.jpg";

// 使用exif_read_data()函数读取照片的Exif数据
$exifData = exif_read_data($photoPath, 0, true);

// 检查Exif数据是否可用
if ($exifData !== false) {
    // 获取曝光程序的数值
    $exposureProgram = $exifData["EXIF"]["ExposureProgram"];

    // 将数值转换为具体的曝光程序名称
    switch ($exposureProgram) {
        case 1:
            $exposureProgramName = "手动";
            break;
        case 2:
            $exposureProgramName = "程序自动";
            break;
        case 3:
            $exposureProgramName = "快门优先";
            break;
        case 4:
            $exposureProgramName = "光圈优先";
            break;
        case 5:
            $exposureProgramName = "创意自动";
            break;
        case 6:
            $exposureProgramName = "动作自动";
            break;
        case 7:
            $exposureProgramName = "肖像模式";
            break;
        case 8:
            $exposureProgramName = "风景模式";
            break;
        default:
            $exposureProgramName = "未知";
            break;
    }

    // 输出曝光程序名称
    echo "曝光程序：{$exposureProgramName}";
} else {
    echo "无法读取照片的Exif数据。";
}
?>

In the above code, we first define the path of the photo file to be read. Then, use the exif_read_data() function to read the Exif data of the photo and save it in the $exifData variable.

Next, we check if the Exif data is available. If available, we use $exifData["EXIF"]["ExposureProgram"] to get the value of the exposure program. Then, use the switch statement to convert the value into a specific exposure program name and save it in the $exposureProgramName variable.

Finally, we output the name of the exposure program.

You just need to replace "path/to/your/photo.jpg" in the code with the path of the photo file you want to read the exposure program, and then run that in the browser PHP file, you can view the photo exposure program.

Summary:

This article introduces how to use PHP and Exif extensions to read the exposure program of photos. By reading the Exif data of the photo and extracting the numerical value of the exposure program, we can easily obtain and display the exposure program information of the photo. Using the above sample code, you can freely read the exposure programs of various photos and learn more about the exposure, thereby improving your photography skills.
