NYCPHP Meetup

Hi,

    I found this http://www.microimages.com/sml/GetEXIF.htm to be very 
helpful. The structure of the code is almost like PHP and it has the 
biggest collection of exif tag information that I could find...and I 
searched for days. Getting the exif tags out is one thing, but 
interpreting what the sometimes bizzare values mean is a different 
thing. I found the storage of the thumbnail as  a text string quite clever.
    I created an online picture viewer with a database backend so that 
friends and family can search for pictures and create their own list of 
favorites. I also plan to expand this to include Flash Video so that I 
can share my home videos as well. Geroen Wijering made a really nice 
Flash Video player.
    I also used some of the other image functions so that I can specify 
the rotation angle when adding new pictures and have them rotated on the 
fly when viewing pages. That saves tons of time as I can now pipe 
pictures from the camera straight into my viewer system.
    Sure, there are gazillion of those out there already, but it is fun 
and I can learn from it.
