Getting "date taken" value from image

[youradds]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the "date taken" value from an image. I've tried Image::IPTCInfo (which simply says "no IPTC data found), and Image::EXIF, which has loads of info (like lens size, etc), but nothing about the date taken :/

Heres an example image:

http://ultradev.com.nmsrv.com/test.jpg

If you save this to your PC, then right click - and view "properties", you will see that when you goto "details", it shows stuff like:

http://ultradev.com.nmsrv.com/sample.jpg

(screenshot of what I see)

Can anyone suggest how I can extract this data? (I'm working on a gallery script, and for the "date taken", I want to extract it direct from the image - instead of requiring people to remember dates/manually have to enter the dates)

TIA!

Andy

Hi

I only tried [tt]Image::ExifTool[/tt], that seems to work with you image file :

[b]use[/b] Image::ExifTool;

$exif=[b]new[/b] Image::ExifTool;

$exif->ExtractInfo([i]'test.jpg'[/i]);

[b]print[/b] $exif->GetValue([i]'CreateDate'[/i]);
