I wanted some quick and easy functions for computing the shutter speed and f-stop. I couldn't find any anywhere, so I made some. It took some research :

<?php
function exif_get_float($value) {
$pos = strpos($value, '/');
if (
$pos === false) return (float) $value;
$a = (float) substr($value, 0, $pos);
$b = (float) substr($value, $pos+1);
return (
$b == 0) ? ($a) : ($a / $b);
}

function
exif_get_shutter(&$exif) {
if (!isset(
$exif['ShutterSpeedValue'])) return false;
$apex = exif_get_float($exif['ShutterSpeedValue']);
$shutter = pow(2, -$apex);
if (
$shutter == 0) return false;
if (
$shutter >= 1) return round($shutter) . 's';
return
'1/' . round(1 / $shutter) . 's';
}

function
exif_get_fstop(&$exif) {
if (!isset(
$exif['ApertureValue'])) return false;
$apex = exif_get_float($exif['ApertureValue']);
$fstop = pow(2, $apex/2);
if (
$fstop == 0) return false;
return
'f/' . round($fstop,1);
}
?>
