Description:
------------
exif_read_data returns malformed arrays (missing a closing parens) when reading from certain image files that come straight out of the camera (ie. no processing in any image manipulation/management program like photoshop). I can reproduce this on files from Samsung, Nikon, etc.




Test script:
---------------
$exif = @exif_read_data( $file );
print_r($exif, true);

Test image files are here: http://goo.gl/Ry5fG6



Expected result:
----------------
Produces a malformed array without a closing paren:

I'm not sure I am testing this correctly but I cannot reproduce this.

I download 5.4.25 source code and did the following:

./configure --prefix=/home/matason/php --enable-exif
make
make install

Then I created a PHP file:

<?php
// /home/matason/exif-test.php
$exif = exif_read_data('/home/matason/Downloads/images/Samsung Galaxy S3 (1).jpg');
print_r($exif);

And ran it with:
/home/matason/php/bin/php -f /home/matason/exif-test.php

And here's the output (note that it includes the closing paren):

Please try using this snapshot:

For Windows:

Could you try to check with the recent fixes made to exif from the master branch, which will eventually turn into 7.2 if these have fixed the issue? I have recently added support for Samsung as one of the mentioned formats.

Side note, some editors can cause some exif data to be saved incorrectly due to their offsets that varies, and they are not bound to the header of the file either hence why some editors can potentially cause loss of exif data or corrupted data which is sadly out of our hands to fix.
