Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.iptcparse#refsect1-function.iptcparse-description
---

The code example below returns values in $desc truncated to 64 chars.
We would like to see that the full strings are returned.




Test script:
---------------
	$attr = getimagesize($file, $info);
	$iptc = iptcparse($info['APP13']);

	foreach (array_keys($iptc) as $s) {
		if ( is_array($iptc[$s]) ) {
			$c = count ($iptc[$s]);
			for ($i=0; $i <$c; $i++) {
				$desc 	= $iptc[$s][$i];
				echo $desc.'<br />';
			}
		}
	}

I can't reproduce the truncation of IPTC fields to 64 characters.
Please provide a link to an image where this issue can be
reproduced.

This information is actually truncated in the IPTC APP13 segment;
there is complete info in the XMP APP1 segment, but parsing XMP
metadata is not supported.  Also note that the XMP APP1 segment is
the second APP1 segment in that image file, but getimagesize()
only ever reports the first APPn segment.
