When I am uploading an image via smartphone, I am losing my GPS exif data.

Any idea how to upload with GPS exif?

if(isset($_FILES['fupload'])) {

  if(preg_match('/[.](jpg)|(gif)|(png)$/', $_FILES['fupload']['name'])) {

    $filename = $_FILES['fupload']['name'];
    $source = $_FILES['fupload']['tmp_name'];  
    $date = date_create();
    $date = date_timestamp_get($date); 
    $target = $path_to_image_directory . $date . '_' . $filename;

    move_uploaded_file($source, $target);
  }
}

  • are you uploading from an iPhone? there's a known bug (or feature, depending on who you ask) on iOS devices in which some image exif data is stripped from the image when uploading from the iOS device), see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16297730/image-upload-from-iphone-strips-exif-data – Javier Larroulet Sep 27 '18 at 17:23

  • For now I am reading out the exif data from $_FILES['fupload']['name'] and saving the data in a var. With a perl script I readd the exif data to the uploaded image – stien develtere Sep 28 '18 at 14:03
