Digital photo information extract

[steelio]

What I am wanting to do is find that hidden information that digital pictures have. Mainly the date taken.
I know how to right click on it and find it that way through the properties...but there has to be another way right? embedded somewhere.

What you're looking for is EXIF data. Are you trying to do this programmatically or an application that does it for you?

I wouldnt mind finding a program or something to get that.

Use Irfanview.

PHP can do EXIF and it works great as a shell scripting language. Traditionally, PHP is used for website development but I use it often if I need to get something short together quickly.
