php exif support

It seems quite strange that I found the php exif support is not available in the MAMPStack. Please clarify if I am wrong. IPTC and XMP meta data are available in the photo but EXIF cannot be found.

Hi gd,

Yes it seems that exif it is not enabled during the PHP compilation. Sorry, we will try to enable in the next version of MAMPStack.

Cheers.

Hi, beltran,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have also checked the PHP website so I understand the exif support can only be enabled in the compilation stage. I don’t think I can do it myself. But it is one of my main function that I use your MAMP stack to set up the Wordpress. Without this exif support, I cannot put photos on maps in wordpress. At this moment, I have to hold up my development of blog site until your next version. I know it is a free service and I truly appreciate your effort. But I still need to know when your next version will come so that I can revise my plan.

Hi,

At this moment we are working to improve our automatic system. As soon as we work on the new version we will post in this forum. A possible solution is to migrate temporary your blog development to Windows. On Windows you can enable the exif module uncommenting the line in php.ini.

Best regards.

Hi Beltran,

Thanks for your advice. At this moment, Mac OS is my best solution because I can set up a dedicated web server on it. If I don’t need to wait a long time, I think I shall resume my development after your upgrade.
