exif_read_data()

Tom
I've read on earlier posts that PHP has to be compiled with "--enable-exif"
in order for this function to be available and that it will appear in the
phpinfo() screen display. I maintain files on two different linux servers
and neither appears to have this function available; is it supposed to
appear in its own section like gd and mysql?

And, how does one go about compiling PHP on a Windows XP box to make this
function available?

Thank you in advance,

Tom

Yes.

Don't need to. The Windows .zip package comes with php_exif.dll; just load it
using an 'extension' statement in php.ini.
