My first pecl extension
I just commited my first pecl extension to pecl cvs. For me this is quite an important thing because it is my introduction to writing php extensions. Kudos go to Sara Goleman for writing the excellent book and to Wez for giving me the karma. Thanks! My first commit can be found here.
The iptcdata extension is a wrapper around libiptcdata : "libiptcdata is a library, written in C, for manipulating the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata stored within multimedia files such as images. This metadata can include captions and keywords, often used by popular photo management applications. The library provides routines for parsing, viewing, modifying, and saving this metadata. The library is licensed under the GNU Library General Public License (GNU LGPL). The libiptcdata package also includes a command-line utility, iptc, for editing IPTC data in JPEG files."
Although iptcparse and iptcembed already exists in php, I think this new library is much more comfortable!
