Are there any specific PHP functions or libraries recommended for parsing meta-information from images?

To parse meta-information from images in PHP, you can use the exif_read_data function which reads the EXIF headers from an image file. This function returns an associative array containing the meta-information such as camera settings, date and time, and location. You can then access specific meta-information by using the keys in the returned array. 

// Path to the image file
$imagePath = 'image.jpg';

// Read the meta-information from the image file
$exifData = exif_read_data($imagePath);

// Output specific meta-information
echo 'Image taken on: ' . $exifData['DateTime'] . PHP_EOL;
echo 'Camera model: ' . $exifData['Model'] . PHP_EOL;
