SetExifToolPath($path) set/change the path of ExifTool if not supplied at startĬlose() terminate ExifTool background process Put all your commands in an array and push it into the stack using the $exif-> add() function, you can add multiple jobs to process before calling fetch/fetchAll. These figures are to be taken as a guide of performance increase possible with supplied scripts but will vary depending on your hardware setup and arguments supplied to ExifTool.ġ00 iterations fetching metadata from a JPEG (-use MWG -g -j -*:*)īelow is a basic example on how to use this class. Let me know what you think or any changes to make it better.

Note that script is hard coded to work with 9.03+ of ExifTool only because this is all I have been testing against since. Originally I was using PHP streams but this proved to be a problem so instead using fgets to parse the return. It still has some work to do and cleaning up but seems to work well in my environment and scales out quite nicely. The class detects if ExifTool has died and restarts it on the next call.

The class does not apply any logic to the parameters supplied to ExifTool, what you push though gets passed though and the result is then returned. Ive also supplied two additional scripts that wrap the class ready for use with gearman for scaleout. The script can be inited as a singleton or instance. Ive created a script that can be used to run ExifTool in StayOpen mode within PHP.
