exif_thumbnail
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
exif_thumbnail — Retrieve the embedded thumbnail of a TIFF or JPEG image
Description
$filename
[, int &$width
[, int &$height
[, int &$imagetype
]]] )exif_thumbnail() reads the embedded thumbnail of a TIFF or JPEG image.
If you want to deliver thumbnails through this function, you should send the mimetype information using the header() function.
It is possible that exif_thumbnail() cannot create an
image but can determine its size. In this case, the return value is
FALSE but width and height
are set.
Parameters
-
filename -
The name of the image file being read. This image contains an embedded thumbnail.
-
width -
The return width of the returned thumbnail.
-
height -
The returned height of the returned thumbnail.
-
imagetype -
The returned image type of the returned thumbnail. This is either TIFF or JPEG.
Return Values
Returns the embedded thumbnail, or FALSE if the image contains no
thumbnail.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 4.3.0 |
The optional parameters width,
height, and imagetype
all became available.

| 4.3.0 | May return thumbnails in the TIFF format. |

This will allow you to manipulate the thumbnail image ($imgJpeg) using the various gd commands:
<?php
if (($imgJpeg = exif_thumbnail($strImagePath)) === false)
print "No Thumbnail!";
else
$imgJpeg = imageCreateFromString($imgJpeg);
?>
Great that the thumbnail can be in TIFF format (f.i. Kodak cameras have embedded thumbnail in TIFF) BUT I have not been able to show TIFF as an embedded image in HTML (using the <IMG...> tag). There seems to be no function in PHP to change TIFF to, lets say, JPG. (imagecreatefromstring gives a 'unknown datatype' error for the TIFF stream. So below sample works great for JPEG embedded thumbnail, but not for TIFF embedded (but then, maybe I did something wrong?):
test_exif.php:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test EXIF Read </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
$image='P0000614.JPG';
echo("<B>". $image. "</B>:<BR><BR>\n");
$exif = exif_read_data($image, 'ANY_TAG',true);
if (!$exif===false)
{
echo("Image contains headers<br><br>");
echo("<A href=showthumb.php?image=" . $image ."> <IMG border=0 src=showthumb.php?image=" . $image ."></A><BR><BR>");
foreach ($exif as $key => $section)
{
foreach ($section as $name => $val)
{
echo "$key.$name: $val<br>\n";
}

echo("Sorry, image <B>".$image . "</B> does not contain (readable) EXIF data.");

showthumb.php:
<?php
$imgdat = exif_thumbnail($_REQUEST['image'],$width, $height, $type);
header('Content-type: ' . image_type_to_mime_type($type));
echo($imgdat);
?>
When clicking on the <A> opens the TIFF image in the program that windows assigned to this type, but the JPEG opens in the browser.
I am using PHP 4.3.6 on windows iis 4 (yeah, I know.....)
If you want to convert from TIFF to JPG you can use ImageMagick if it is installed in your server.
<?php
$exec = 'convert /path/to/file.tiff /path/to/file.jpg 2>&1';
@exec($exec, $exec_output, $exec_retval);
//possible error
print_r($exec_output)
?>
use this if you want to embed a thumbnail directly on the HTML page without writing it first to a file:
<?php
$image = exif_thumbnail($file, $width, $height, $type);
echo "<img width='$width' height='$height' src='data:image/gif;base64,".base64_encode($image)."'>";
?>
If you've edited the image with image editing software and it no longer contains an exif thumbnail, I've created a script that will add one back into it, using the "PHP Exif Library": http://pel.sourceforge.net/index.php
<?php
require_once('../PEL/PelJpeg.php');
require_once('../PEL/PelIfd.php');
$fullpath = 'images/DSC_0013c.JPG'; # path of source image (does not contain an exif thumbnail)
$jpeg = new PelJpeg($fullpath);
$exif = $jpeg->getExif();
$tiff = $exif->getTiff();
$ifd0 = $tiff->getIfd(); # need this so that we can later link it to the new IFD
$ifd1 = $ifd0->getNextIfd();
if (!$ifd1) { # Only create thumbnail if one doesn't exist (i.e. there is no IFD1)
$ifd1 = new PelIfd(1);
$ifd0->setNextIfd($ifd1); # point ifd0 to the new ifd1 (or else ifd1 will not be read)
$original = ImageCreateFromString($jpeg->getBytes()); # create image resource of original
$orig_w=imagesx($original);
$orig_h=imagesy($original);
$wmax = 160;
$hmax = 120;
if ($orig_w>$wmax || $orig_h>$hmax) {
$thumb_w=$wmax;
$thumb_h=$hmax;
if ($thumb_w/$orig_w*$orig_h>$thumb_h)
$thumb_w=round($thumb_h*$orig_w/$orig_h); # maintain aspect ratio
else
$thumb_h=round($thumb_w*$orig_h/$orig_w);
}
else { # only set the thumb's size if the original is larger than 'wmax'x'hmax'
$thumb_w=$orig_w;
$thumb_h=$orig_h;
}
# create image resource with thumbnail sizing
$thumb=imagecreatetruecolor($thumb_w,$thumb_h);
## Resize original and copy to the blank thumb resource
imagecopyresampled($thumb,$original,
0,0,0,0,$thumb_w,$thumb_h,$orig_w,$orig_h);
# start writing output to buffer
ob_start();
# outputs thumb resource contents to buffer
ImageJpeg($thumb);
# create PelDataWindow from buffer thumb contents (and end output to buffer)
$window = new PelDataWindow(ob_get_clean());
if ($window) {
$ifd1->setThumbnail($window); # set window data as thumbnail in ifd1
$outpath = $fullpath; # overwrite original jpg file
file_put_contents($outpath, $jpeg->getBytes()); # write everything to output filename
# Show thumbnail in file:
echo '<img src="thumb_exif.php?image='.$outpath.'" border=0 alt="If you see this, it did not work"><br>';
}
}
else {
echo 'ifd1 already exists! (IFD1 is where the thumbnail is stored)<br>';
}
?>
<?php # This is the code in thumb_exif.php :
$imgdat = exif_thumbnail($_REQUEST['image'], $width, $height, $type);
header('Content-type: ' . image_type_to_mime_type($type));
echo($imgdat);
?>
If you have a lot of such files, you can easily make a script that searches them out and adds thumbnails to their exif.
