How can the error "exif_read_data(): Unable to open file" be resolved in PHP?

The error "exif_read_data(): Unable to open file" occurs when the PHP function exif_read_data() is unable to open the specified file. To resolve this issue, ensure that the file path is correct and that the file has the appropriate permissions for the PHP script to access it.

php 
$file_path = 'path/to/your/file.jpg';

if (file_exists($file_path)) {
    $exif_data = exif_read_data($file_path);
    // Process the exif data here
} else {
    echo 'File does not exist or is inaccessible.';
}
