In my application I am getting the following error:

call to undefined function exif_read_data()

I already have enabled mbstring extension before exif extension but I am still getting this error.

Could anybody give me any hints as to why this error persists?

Thanks!

  • Have you restarted your web server? Maybe post the section of your php.ini file where you have these extensions? – jcbwlkr Apr 05 '13 at 10:48
  • since this is google's no.1 hit on the aforementioned error-message, I think this question should be re-openend after editing – Tobias Gassmann Feb 26 '18 at 14:37

So you php.ini needs to look like this (under Windows):

1   extension=php_mbstring.dll
2   extension=php_exif.dll

and not:

1   extension=php_exif.dll
2   extension=php_mbstring.dll

restart apache good luck!

update 1

Try this code and put back the result

 <?php
$ini = get_cfg_var('cfg_file_path');
echo '<pre>ini: ', $ini, "\n";

foreach(file($ini) as $l) {
  if ( false!==strpos($l, '_exif') || false!==strpos($l, '_mbstring') ) {
    echo $l;
  }
}
echo '<pre>';

update 2 check “ext” directory of your PHP installation and see the file php_exif.dll was there. update 3 try http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
