Is there a possible way to check photo dpi with php. I have 300 dpi and 72 dpi photos. but wants a way to calculate dpi automatically.

Answer 1

If you want it without Imagick or GD Library. I was struggling with this, and since I found it, here you go.

function get_dpi($filename){
    $a = fopen($filename,'r');
    $string = fread($a,20);
    fclose($a);

    $data = bin2hex(substr($string,14,4));
    $x = substr($data,0,4);
    $y = substr($data,4,4);

    return array(hexdec($x),hexdec($y));
}

and then print the array or do with it what you want.
