FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

PEL: PHP Exif Library
README file for PEL: PHP Exif Library. A library with support for reading and writing Exif headers in JPEG and TIFF images using PHP.
Copyright (C) 2004, 2005, 2006 Martin Geisler. Licensed under the GNU GPL, see COPYING for details.
Description
The PHP Exif Library (PEL) makes it easy to develop programs that will read and write the Exif metadata headers found in JPEG and TIFF images. See the file INSTALL for an introduction to how PEL can be used by your application.
PEL is a library written entirely in PHP 5, which means that it does not have any dependencies outside the core of PHP, it does not even use the Exif module available for PHP.
Please note that the API for PEL is not yet frozen, and it will remain changeable until version 1.0 is reached. Read the NEWS file for important information about API changes.
Also, please go to the PEL development mailing list (look below) and share your ideas about how the API should look like.

Helping out
Help will be very much appreciated. You can report issues, run the test suite, add patches. The best way to help out is applying patches and helping out with the tests. See instructions in the test/ directory.
All changes to code should be issued through a pull request, and other maintainers should review the code and merge it.
Languages
To work with the translations, you need the gettext package installed.
Getting Support
The first place you should consult for support is the documentation supplied with PEL, found at https://pel.github.io/pel/doc/. There you will find a complete API documentation with descriptions of all classes and files in PEL.
The scripts found in the examples/ directory are also a good source of information, especially the edit-description.php file which has tons of comments.
PEL is hosted on Github and uses the tools found there for support. This means that all questions, bug reports, etc. should be directed there (and not directly to the developers).
Please try the latest version before reporting bugs -- it might have been fixed already. The latest code can be found in the git repository at
It is very helpful if you try out the latest code from the git repository before submitting a bug report. The code found there is generally very stable.
Contributing Test Images
To make PEL as stable as possible, it is tested with images from a number of different camera models.
New test images are very much appreciated -- please download the existing test images and read the README file found there for instructions.
Credits
Please see the AUTHORS file for a list of people who have contributed to PEL. See the full list of code contributors.
