TWG tries so sort your images after the time the picture is taken. Therefore it need to read exif information from the image. This function is only available in PHP 4 compiled using –enable- exif (call the info.php of TWG and check your php settings). Its functionality and behavior has changed in PHP 4.2. Earlier versions are very unstable. There are a couple of libraries in the www that can read the information without –enable- exif but I have tried some and didn’t get better results reading the time the picture was taken (my own camera does not have exif data I can use :(). If no proper data can be read the file time is used. If –enable-exif is not set the file time is used as well.
