PHP extract GPS EXIF data

Question

I would like to extract the GPS EXIF tag from pictures using php. I\'m using the exif_read_data() that returns a array of all tags + data :

GPS.

This is a javascript port of the PHP-code posted @Gerald above. This way you can figure out the location of an image without ever uploading the image, in conjunction with libraries like dropzone.js and Javascript-Load-Image

define(function(){

    function parseExif(map) {
        var gps = {
            lng : getGps(map.get('GPSLongitude'), data.get('GPSLongitudeRef')),
            lat : getGps(map.get('GPSLatitude'), data.get('GPSLatitudeRef'))
        }
        return gps;
    }

    function getGps(exifCoord, hemi) {
        var degrees = exifCoord.length > 0 ? parseFloat(gps2Num(exifCoord[0])) : 0,
            minutes = exifCoord.length > 1 ? parseFloat(gps2Num(exifCoord[1])) : 0,
            seconds = exifCoord.length > 2 ? parseFloat(gps2Num(exifCoord[2])) : 0,
            flip = (/w|s/i.test(hemi)) ? -1 : 1;
        return flip * (degrees + (minutes / 60) + (seconds / 3600));
    }

    function gps2Num(coordPart) {
        var parts = (""+coordPart).split('/');
        if (parts.length <= 0) {
            return 0;
        }
        if (parts.length === 1) {
            return parts[0];
        }
        return parts[0] / parts[1];
    }       

    return {
        parseExif: parseExif
    };

});
