Description:
------------
PHP fails reading GPS data from a given set of photos from Samsung SGH-
i900. The images are said to come from the camera without any edits.

Ex: 

http://o1.imgsrc.ru/v/vahmurka/3/16095163cDU.jpg
http://o1.imgsrc.ru/v/vahmurka/1/16095161rno.jpg

exiftool 8.00 has no problem reading this file. php5.2-201001041530 
produces 
the same result.

Reproduce code:
---------------
# php -r 'var_dump(read_exif_data("16095163cDU.jpg",NULL,TRUE));'

Expected result:
----------------
...
["SectionsFound"]=>
    string(35) "ANY_TAG, IFD0, THUMBNAIL, EXIF, GPS"
...
["GPS"]=>
  array(8) {
    ["GPSVersion"]=>
    string(4) ""
    ["GPSLatitudeRef"]=>
    string(1) "N"
    ["GPSLatitude"]=>
    array(3) {
      [0]=>
      string(4) "43/1"
      [1]=>
      string(4) "16/1"
      [2]=>
      string(11) "75363/10000"
    }
    ["GPSLongitudeRef"]=>
    string(1) "E"
    ["GPSLongitude"]=>
    array(3) {
      [0]=>
      string(4) "77/1"
      [1]=>
      string(4) "21/1"
      [2]=>
      string(11) "140249/2629"
    }
    ["GPSAltitudeRef"]=>
    string(1) ""
    ["GPSAltitude"]=>
    string(6) "1603/1"
    ["GPSMapDatum"]=>
    string(6) "WGS-84"
  }

these results are taken after fixing image with exiftool: 
# exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe 16095163cDU.jpg


Actual result:
--------------
Warning: read_exif_data(16095163cDU.jpg): Illegal IFD offset in 
Command line code on line 1
array(4) {
  ["FILE"]=>
  array(6) {
    ["FileName"]=>
    string(15) "16095163cDU.jpg"
    ["FileDateTime"]=>
    int(1259257839)
    ["FileSize"]=>
    int(938692)
    ["FileType"]=>
    int(2)
    ["MimeType"]=>
    string(10) "image/jpeg"
    ["SectionsFound"]=>
    string(19) "ANY_TAG, IFD0, EXIF"
  }

If it works with php5.2-201001041530 it means that the issue has been 
resolved.

Sorry,

- php5.2-201001041530 produces the same result
+ php5.2-201001041530 produces the same result as 5.2.12 below

The issue stems from exif.c's exif_process_IFD_in_JPEG() function where it calculates NextDirOffset. If this means what I think it does, for EXIF_IFD and IFD_GPS, there is no next IFD and no further parsing should take place. Right now, it parses into the string for the next entry (2009...)

I am not sure if this is correct since I am no expert on EXIF.

The output of var_dump seems to be still in-correct, though. I do not know if this is a separate issue or something I introduced with this patch.

Hi!

I know this is an old report, could you please reupload the images somewhere? For some reason my ISP have blocked the domain and I do not have a way currently to obtain them from the outside.

thanks!

This issue exists on PHP version 5.6.27 on Mac OS X via MacPorts. I can vouch for the images coming off directly from the camera. Other programs (Photoshop, Lightroom, Preview) can read EXIF data just fine off the same files.

PHP 7.1 is no longer actively supported, so this issue cannot be fixed there. Please see http://php.net/supported-versions.php for more information on supported PHP versions.
