I understand that the EXIF data extracted from uploaded images are stored in the WordPress database, but i am not finding the proper way to find them or get them in a post for instance. I was looking around on web but all solutions found didn’t work.

Do you know an efficient way to get the EXIF data of a picture from post? I don’t mind if is a php or jQuery solution as long it does the job.

Thanks for your time.

LATER EDIT: actually i found the reason for my problem. I managed to call the wp_get_attachment_metadata but except the width and height of image, i receive zero for camera, aperture, ISO, focal lenght, shutter speed etc. The call is something like $imgmeta[‘image_meta’][‘camera’]

is there something i am missing?

LATER LATER EDIT: Found the issue. server extension php_exif wasn’t enabled. thanks for your time
