EXIF I have a problem

[Mohawk Mawk]

Hey guys...
I have a image string I want to read with exif_read_data() but
exif_read_data() does not read strings, only files.
i can display the picture via php
Header( "Content-type: image/jpg"); echo $string;
save it manually and then read the meta data like this

function EXIFALL($img){
$exif = exif_read_data($img, 0, true);
echo "myimage.jpg:<br />\n";
foreach ($exif as $key =$section) {
foreach ($section as $name =$val) {
echo "$key.$name: $val<br />\n";
}}return;}
(code from http://th.php.net/manual/en/function.exif-read-data.php)

and it will read out the meta data like i want it.
but i would like to read the meta data from the string without my
interaction!

so I tried this

imagejpeg(imagecreatefromstring($string),'temp.jpg ');
EXIFALL('temp.jpg');
unlink ('temp.jpg');

witch creates a temporary.jpg reads it and then deletes it.
but the function imagejpeg() replaces the important meta data from my
original image that i want to read.

what should i do?
thanks for your help

Try file_put_contents($string,'temp.jpg') instead of
imagecreatejpeg(imagecreatefromstring()).

Remember to use some kind of lock on your temporary files, or give them
random names, to avoid concurrency issues.

Hope that helps,

to be more clear i want to either create a jpg from a stream without
the metadata to be written, o be able to read the metadata directly
from the stream, witch exif_read_data() does not do.

Try file_put_contents($string,'temp.jpg') instead of
imagecreatejpeg(imagecreatefromstring()).

I tried this but what happens is it creates a 8 byte file named ÿØÿà
(witch are the first charachters of my string)

Sorry, I can't remember the syntax of every function... Try
file_put_contents('temp.jpg',$string)

haha sorry my bad, thank you very much it worked, i also found that i
could do fwrite(fopen("temp.jpg", 'a'),$string); but that would not
create the file so i cant unlink it. i will take your advice and
generate random names, thank you again
