[PHP] IPTC image comments utility

[Paul Furman]

Does anyone know of a utility for WRITING or at least reading IPTC data 
in images with PHP? I found lots of EXIF utilities and did an 
experimental thing with that. PHP even has a built in EXIF reader but 
the only IPTC utilities I've found are expensive ActiveX or Delphi 
components and I don't even know if those could be operated by PHP. THe 
one I used worked at a command line & I just did a shell command with a 
constructed syntax.

Here's some stuff I dug up:
