Hi,
when I open admin menu I see the follow message:
It seems tht your PHP is compiled whitout EXIF data ssuport...
it is true, I never see this exit data in my images.

I don ´t know which is the problem? my hosting server has got PHP 5, PHP 4, PHP 3, Perl, SSI.
How do you configure the php file to see the exif data?

I need help, Tahnks

my gallery: http://www.josemagallery.es/

Your gallery will run fine without EXIF, but it will not be able to display EXIF metadata unless the extension is enabled of course.

EXIF extension needs to be enabled from the php.ini file on your server. If you don't own your own server, you will hve to request your admin/serverhost to enable this function. Simply de-comment the extension in php.ini, and restart the server program.

Thanks,
I have been in touch with my hosting, (Strato)
This company offers 4 different prices for hosting, I hired the second (PowerWeb), to view and edit EXIF data in php.ini I need to update my service and hire a top and a little more expensive.

I have to think and ponder whether it is worth paying more for this little problem.

Thank you

I think it is poor that they don't provide this feature in the default setup, but all providers are different of course. EXIF is just a simple extension.

Hello again, I am trying to solve this little problem with the EXIF data.
I have contacted my manager server and has given me a solution to be able to load the EXIF data in images.
This is your answer:
"Unfortunately we can not provide support on the programming of their own PHP scripts. You can change the PHP configuration setting file "php.ini" inside each folder and subfolder where you want to affect their scripts."

Well, I have no idea how to do this!
on my server no nungun php.ini, so I have to create it. How?
and most importantly what should I put in this file and how it set so you can load the exif data?.
Someone can help me?
I do not know if it is possible to do this to me said. What do you think?
Thank you, greetings

I have never heard of this solution, so I can ´t say anything, but if it works, then why not? PHP.ini is usually a single file that sets the PHP configuration on the entire server. Perhaps they have any documentation on how to set it up on separate folders? Sounds very tedious though, as they could just enable it in their single php.ini file ...

They are not providing support "on our programming" by enabling this feature, they are simply enabling a PHP extension which is more becoming industry-standard on all PHP servers.

To be honest, I wouldn ´t embark on trying to set up php.ini files for every folder, unless they have some info/documentation on it ...

They probably mean something like this:

But I'm not sure how to enable description,I can think it might help if you create .htaccess with:

extension=exif.so

Actually it's better to consult the hoster, I don't see why they can't just uncomment this like in php.ini. It's not a slightest problem and this extension comes with php by default.

hello, in my root server there are not one file, or html, php,anything just for the gallery imagevue files and folders only

Just get back to them with their email suggesting that "You can change the PHP configuration setting file "php.ini" inside each folder and subfolder where you want to affect their scripts."

They should just edit main php.ini and uncomment exif.so

Problem solved.
I upgraded my service with my hosting, I paid a little more and I can see the EXIF data.
